Nighthawk RAXE500
Please does the Nighthawk RAXE500 work in 220-240V or can it work with a 220-240V power supply?

the power supply for my RAXE500 shows "input: 100-240v"
Is that a US model?
If so, looks like Netgear is finally catching up with the rest of the world for its North Americas products.
Everywhere else has had 100-240v adapters for years. Only the USA got adapters.with a 100-120V label
Even then, those adapters were mislabelled. They were actually 100-240v adapters. (I received several North American 120V models that happily worked on 240V without going bang.)

Yep, a NA model. Maybe it just took time for regulatory approval?

Or the lawyers were being careful.
Maybe both.
One problem is that multinational come with a pile of bits of plastic that you have to use to make then fit into local mains sockets.
