Where can I purchase the RAX200 AC Adapter?
I bought RAX200 in Japan and want to use it in Korea, but the AC adapter is 100V-120V.
Since South Korea is 200V, I would like to purchase an AC adapter. Where can I purchase one?
NG doesn't sell power adapters separately.

Maybe some regional places like Amazon or online etailer that may have them.
otherwise, may need to find a power converter maybe.
Do you know where to buy genuine NETGEAR adapters?
By any chance, do you know the model number of the AC200V adapter?NG doesn't sell power adapters separately.

NO!
Netgear does not sell replacement power adapters. Any generic transformer will work, as long as it has the right volts, enough amps and a tip with the right (+/-) polarity and dimensions. (Look at the label on your device or the old adapter.)
These things are pretty common, so first check to see if you have something compatible lying around.
The good news is that the adapter that came with your RAX200 may well work.
For some odd reason, perhaps the law, most adaptors sold in the US specify "120 volts". In reality they are 120/240 V transformers. (Some US adapters say that too.)
The adaptor will work fine in 240V if you have the right cheap mains adapters.
I have used quite a few 120V adaptors. (Netgear sends them out with beta stuff.) Not one has gone bang when plugged in.
You can just plug yours into the wall. If it doesn't blow up, it will work. If it does go bang, it is dead and won't harm your router.
Believe me, there is plenty of experience of this behaviour reported around her.
The idea that you buy a power converter is misleading and perverse.
