Nighthawk x6s ac3000 (power adaptor available with AU plug?)

Hoping someone can help?

I just purchased a Nighthawk x6s ac3000 Router from eBay from America still waiting for its arrival.  

 

I have looked in the user manual to determine the power adaptor and determined it is 19v 3.16a and 50Hz. Instead of converting the US to AU power adaptor with a converter I was wondering if these power adaptors can be purchased with an AU plug?

 

I am struggling to find one on line but can find some laptop power adaptors with same output. Prefer to use original power adaptor. Is this a possibility if I am unable to get an AU power adaptor?

 

look forward to any feedback.

       None of that is a model number.  Look for "Model" on the product
    label.

       "R7900P" is a model number.  (Is it yours?)

       Don't confuse input characteristics ("50Hz") with output
    characteristics ("19V/3.16A").  The router cares only about the
    asapter's output.

       Netgear buys them; Netgear doesn't make them.  You should be able to
    buy one, too.  Netgear doesn't sell parts.

       Define "original".  Same as Netgear buys?  ebay.com.au?

     

       I'd look for an adapter with the desired input characteristics and
    connector, and the desired output characteristics and connector.
    Seeking "original" might be a lost cause.
