RBS40V US version in UK

[karld96]

Hi guys I purchased a RBS40V on the US website and brought it over here to the UK, I read multiple things online saying the US power plug is dual volatage but I just want to be sure.

Will a simple us to uk adapter suffice or what should I do?

Thank you.

Hi I'm in the same situation as yourself. Does your Orbi Voice work with the US power adapter in the UK?

Yep works perfect!

Not sure that anyone can say anything to make you more certain. Do you have any reason for doubting those "multiple things online"? They probably come from the same people.

As others have said, regardless of their labels US adapters work OK in the UK. I have tried several for Nighthawk, Orbi and other models. Not one has gone bang.

Try it without the device connected. You have nothing to lose, except a useless adapter.

Unlike some questions, it doesn't matter where you post this one. The question is generic to Netgear hardware.

Have you investigated the wifi impications of using a US gadget in the UK?

I can't remember what I did to convert it to "Europe".
