Orbi RKB53 global differences
Is there any difference between Orbi RBK53 sold in the US and in Europe? Any differences in supported bands, interference etc.? Or are they interchangable? Planning on buying in US and using in Norwa...
Just talked to Netgear support, and according to them, the device is identical in all markets, except for the power plug, which is no problem to fix with an adapter. So then it seems like it would work.
As you say, worst case, I can flash the firmware, but there seems to be only a single global firmware for download.
So, it seems like like I can safely buy this device in US (and get almost half price off).
Thank you for your help.
If you buy from USA, you may not get a 220v power adapter with the unit if your in a EU region that has 220v power.
The included US power supply is 100-240v 50/60 hz and just needs a plug adaptor.
Right, it's also documented in Orbi user manual.
Power adapter:
• North America: 120V, 60 Hz, input
• UK, Australia: 240V, 50 Hz, input
• Europe: 230V, 50 Hz, input
• All regions (output): 12V, 3.5A DC output
- The Power supply included in US model is marked as 100-120V only. But I can confirm no issues running it on 220 with just the adapter.

Several Netgear US 100-120 V adapters merrily transform away here and have done for some time.
