eBay and Amazon would be a good start. I have had success there.
Netgear uses the same adaptors for most devices, so look for something that, as plemans says, has the right specifications. (See the label on the device itself.)
Hi, I’ve looked on both Amazon & eBay, but this has a completely different adapter end to all other adapters. Any other ideas?
I have no idea what you looked for.
The specifications in the manual say "All regions (output): 19V/3.16 ADC output". I found this in a few seconds:
19V 3.42A 65W Universal Laptop Power Supply with 5.5 X: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
After a few more seconds, I found this one which even claims to be compatible with your device:
T POWER 19V Ac Dc Adapter Charger Compatible with for: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
I suspect that there are dozens more where they came from.
- Hi, I saw these and many others, but they have a central pin in the adapter, whereas mine doesn’t.

I have used a dozen or more Netgear adapters. I even have a few that are just like the one used in the RAX200. It has the usual "plug". I can't see that Netgear has invented a new plug just for the RAX200.
By the way, why are you looking for a new adapter. Did you have one that blew up? Or have you imported one from the USA?
Here's an idea. Use the one you got from the USA. It says 120 volts on the thing? Surprise surprise, there is a very high probability that it will work in the UK.
How do I know? Been there done that. As have several other people.
Plug it in. Did it go bang? No? Then try it on your router.
By the way, one of the devices I linked to has exchangeable tips that should fit most know devices.
