My question would be if I could connect to a Netgear router with 110 -120V charger, a 220-240V charger, to use the router in Europe?
Won't the router explode already because I plugged in a 220-240V adapter?

No. The adapter might explode. It sits between the main and the router. And if it is going to blow up, it will do that even if you don't connect it to the router. Just plug it in and turn it on. If it goes bang, then the router is unharmed and you need to find a new adapter.
But my experience s that Netgear's 110V adapters are fine at 240V.
Do you have the part number on your adapter? I have a couple that work on 240V.
