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:
No, I'm discussing those routers that have the LARGE center pin seen on the router side in back as seen here:
Recent and newer model routers that are 6 and 6E supporting seem to now have these large power plugs with the LARGER center pin. My RAXE500, CAX80, RBR960 and RBR970 all have the LARGE size plug. I don't know about the RS700 has I don't have one of those so I can't confirm.
For the small size and center needle pin plugs in back, my R9000, XR700 and RAX120 have that small size plug and yes, use that same PS model you pictured. This plug is smaller size and will NOT fit the larger sized plugs ever, seen in back of those routers with the larger size plug and LARGE center pin as seen in my picture above. The diameter IS different.
Been a long time electronic standard that most any center pin is the (+) positive side of the power and the outer portion of the plug is the (-) negative side of the power. Been in electronics for 30+ years so you get to know it. No guess work here.
What appears to be a large center pin is in fact the part where the connector inner sleeve does connect - the blue ring in my photo. Most likely the (+) connector as per the printed label, too. The red ring is the (-) connecting the connector outer sleeve. Have posted the exact mechanical drawing above for your reference.
Still can't understand why Netgear has dropped the standards compliant three-contact-connector in favor of something non-standard or at best some variation. This does "protect" the user from using industry standard 60 or 90 W 19V power supplies, and causing more confusion than what's required. For a 90W power supply, this makes just a max of4.75A, for 3.15A for a 60W unit. Weak point will be the very thin outer sleeve contact if any, extremely asymmetric connector design - making fat 5.1mm thick fat contactor is electrically an overkill. The outer plastic ring is massive enough in my opinion.
Can only presume that maybe NG moved to the larger center pin for better power stability and maybe less flimsy plug being flexed at any point in this life. I've noticed that the smaller plugs are a bit flimsy and flex if you bend the plug up and down or side to side on my routers that have this older plug design. Can cause the plug contact to wear and break the board solder point connections over time. The larger plugs have less flex and give when flexed. More rigged design. And with the additional hardware wifi radios and now multi gig and 10Gb ports now in play, there is more power draw as well. Again, probably or could have better power performances with the larger plug. And maybe some regulatory policy as well. Many factors that go into the design and all. Will never know why. I've asked for confirmation on what the RS has in this regard to the plug size.
It's just prohibiting using industry standard PC 19V power supplies. Sure, some Cents can be removed from the BOM if simplifying the connectors.
Ya I agree, but there maybe good reasons why.
Ya, it certainly makes it hard on some that if the PS goes missing, lost or goes bad, how does one get a new unit when NG doesn't offer up replacements. I feel NG should have a way for some users to get replacements. In or out of warranty. Seen other posts where the PS went bad or user lost it in a move. Come asking where can they get another. Hard to find online today. Why I reference that prior post from Tigerwife for historical reference.
The outer diameter is 7.4 mm and the inner diameter is 5.1mm.
