I need 220v power supply for RS700
I need 220v power supply for RS700. I purchased RS700 US version and since it has big dc power jack, it is hard to find something like this. any suggestion?
Hello all,
Netgear Support provided me with these details about the replacement AC adapter power cord for my RS700 router:
Product Code: 332-11480-02
Product Accessory: PA,19V,3.16A,NJ,PIE,LRI found a replacement AC adapter power cord on Amazon Canada and on Amazon USA. It is from a brand called T-Power.
Search for this on the USA site "T POWER 19V Charger for Netgear Orbi 960 970 Series Quad-Band WiFi 6E 7 Network Mesh RS700S".
Search for this on the Canada site "T Power 19V Charger for Netgear Orbi 960 970 RS700S"
It is almost half the price on the USA site if you have a forwarding service.
Looks like we can even share links, enjoy:
19V/3.16A (60W) power adapters (also 90W variants) are readily available in the PC markets, the thin center pin intended to power a modem might not allow plugging generic units to the RS700 (or can be cut off) - better order from Netgear.
Bigger problem is that the RS700 US version is limited to FCC regulatory area, and it can't be changed easily. Legally, you are not allowed to operate the FCC version for example in Europe (wrong channel sets, wrong or lack of DFS and TPC). Depreciated.
Not sure if the RS has a thin or thick center pin. Some routers have a thick center pin.
Something to take in to account:
this seem right, 7~ mm dc jack.
Could you please name the model in the photo?
I may purchase the power supply for that model instead.
thanks in advance.
This looks like a RAXE500. Either way, even if you are able to find the right power supply, it won't make your FCC RS700 router a worldwide or European model - because newer US FCC regulations do not allow products sold and offered allowing user-control over the wireless bands supported. Better return it to the US seller - because it's not coming with controls to configure eg. the European band plan -and- because it's not coming with a CE mark. If e.g. Switzerland customs will find such a device in a shipping to s Swiss address, it will be destroyed and not forwarded to the customer - and you will be fined, too.
What hits my eyes when looking at an ebay offering of a Netgear branded EU 19V 3.16A AC Adapter Charger For Netgear RAX120 RAX80 RBS40V XR700 Router (Dr. Google is your friend) is the small center pin - because this is an industry standard model for powering laptops - and the center pin is also carrying some constant power, originally intended to power a modem or wake-on-LAN. And oddly, the newer Netgear 19V 3.16A powered routers don't have the tiny center hole - whatever the idea of the hardware designers was going away from a standard 60W PC power supply. For comparison, the R9000 here is allowing the very same connectors.
Again: If the small center hole is blocked, you might have to remove the center pin (or modify the device accordingly - at the cost of loosing any warranty).
This is the PS that comes with the RAXE500 with no center pin. If the power specs are the same for the RS700, and the RS has same thick center pin in the back of the RS unit, then I would presume the RAXE500 PS would work for the RS. The PS pictured in previous post does not have the right size end plug, too small and has the center pin that can't be removed.

Correct, excellent example of the newer DC-side plug as supplied by Netgear and probably others.
As I said, the central pin is neither functional nor required for these routers (including earlier Netgear units operating on 19V). A typical power supply sold in the US FCC market (or given to us with Beta units) - well visible based on US-Style AC plug, the UL- and FCC-regulatory marks, and the absence of a CE mark.

Not all DC power plugs have a center pin similar to the ubiquitous simple router and the like power adapters common in the low-voltage 2.5V ... 3.3V ... 5V ... 12V devices. For the 19V ATE power supplies, the center pin (in place only to provide some always-own Vcc for a modem or network interface with WoL) is not required - this is why there is no obvious "center pin" on the newer 19V DC input ports as it's in place on the newer Netgear devices requiring more power. The primary operation voltage and power is supplied over an inner and outer contactor ring!
I really like to bring up a warning that self-importing devices from abroad is a bad idea - unless you exactly know what you do, and what risks are implied. In all European legislations, self-imported devices must carry the CE mark, the manufacturer must supply a EU Declaration of Conformity - all details many buyers are not aware.
You may possibly also find the following information on the declaration of conformity:
- Designation of the radio equipment for traceability purposes; it may include an illustration in which the radio equipment is recognizable.
- "The notified agency (name, identification number) has issued… (description of its involvement)… and the following EU type examination certificate."
- A description of the accessories and components including software which enable the radio equipment to be operated in accordance with the requirements and which are entered on the EU declaration of conformity.
Netgear does not supply these for hardware intended to be used in the US FCC regulatory domain only! This no no bad will - this is required for devices they are manufacturing and importing into the US.
