R8500 purchasable power supply
For international frequent movers it would be interesting to get easily power supply as spare parts and to puchase it directly to Netgear.

VE6CGX is correct. Just purchase the compatible plug or get like a universal adapter.
aalexandrebeta We do not sell power adapters only.

Read the label on the adapter. It is universal input voltage. Wuat yiou need is plug adapter not power adapter.

I must have not expressed myself clearly.
What would be great is to have the ability to purchase another spare part from Netgear in case of damaged or cuted cord or in case of international moving with another plug, voltage and type plug. It's time to go green. I really don't mind paying for that.

i buy from amazon router R8500 but in my country its 240 v

I just purchased a raspberry pi 3 and the power supply was provided with 4 different plugs!
But what I'd like is to have the ability to purchase a spare plug apart.
In a family home we had a mice infestation and those creatures completely cut and devoured the cord and created a short circuit. warranty was voided indeed, and had to buy a complete stuff back!

Adapter itself is same, just plugs are different depending where it is sold. AC power plug adapter can be bought on eBay easily. Read the label on the adapter which will tell it is universal input voltage type. If one needs spare power adapter it does not have to be Netgear brand. As long as you get one with same specs. or better. DC connector to router can be bought too on eBay. Little soldering
may be necessary to put on corrrect connector.

OK but I would have preferred a Netgear spare part. O HP procurve stuff they provide the plug or the switch independently.
