Hello I bought a Netgear R6250 AC1600 smart router in the USA, but I am in Europe, my problem is where to find a power cord with the right specifications, meaning the right INPUT and OUTPUT values for this router in Europe. Maybe someone has the original power adapter for the EU?
If that's the adapter which you'll be getting, then it looks as if it's no good for 220-240V.
> OUTPUT:12.0V --- 1.0A
And that makes it look as if it might be wrong (at any voltage) for an R6250, whose User Manual says (page 131):
Power adapter o North America: 120V, 60 Hz, input o UK, Australia: 240V, 50 Hz, input o Europe: 230V, 50 Hz, input o All regions (output): 12V DC @ 2.5A, output

The 50-60Hz frequency difference shouldn't matter. Notice that the pictured adapter is good from "47-63 Hz". The line frequency matters only for old ("linear") power supplies with big, heavy transformers, which need to be bigger and heavier for 50Hz than for 60Hz.
That 1.0A current rating looks like a problem. If that's what you get, then I'd advise looking for a properly-rated replacement. The label on the router should tell you what its power requirements are. At the moment, for example, http://www.ebay.com/itm/162694573316 shows one with a label which says 12V, 2.5A. If the router needs anything close to 2.5A, then a 1.0A adapter is unlikely to work well (or for long). If someone sold me a mismatched/wrong adapter, then I might complain.

What's your power? What are the input specifications on the original adapter? Do you need more than a simple plug+socket adapter to mate it with the local outlets? If the input specifications are ok, then the output specifications should take care of themselves.
