Re: Can I buy an Orbi in the US to use in Europe?

Hi y'all.

I'm travelling to the US later this month and want to pick up the netgear orbi to use at home as it's ridiculously expensive where I live (Iceland). So my question is: will I run into any trouble with the US bought Orbi back home?

I googled before posting but my findings left me more confused if anything.
It works: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Will-the-Orbi-bought-in-the-US-work-in-Europe/td-p/1388292

It doesn't: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Region-change-from-North-America-to-Europe/m-p/1429373/highlig...

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

I would presume there will be differences in power compatibility US is 110v. Some of europe is 220v.

I would contact NG support and ask about this before buying.

I know that the voltage isn't going to be an issue. It's everything else I'm worried about (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Region-change-from-North-America-to-Europe/m-p/1429373/highlig...)

Something to contact NG support about and ask before you buy.
