Hello,

I am thinking about buying the 3500L, but i reside outside the US and the power grid here is 220V. Can someone who currently owns the 3500L take a glance at it's sticker and tell me wether its 100-110V only or will it handle a 220-240V outlet as well?

Thanks so much in advance!

The Netgear wall-wart power supply that comes with the router provides 12vdc at 1.5a to the router.

So, if you have a battery or other source of 12vdc at 1.5 amps and the right connector on the other end of wire then you can operate it anywhere!

That said, I would anticipate that whoever sells you a 3500L in a non-USA location would ship a power supply (wall-wart) that is matched to your local grid voltage.

Just be sure to ask about that before you order.

Thanks for the reply!
The thing is - I'm going to buy it in the US and have someone bring it over..
the real question, i guess, is: is the wall-wart that's supplied in the US willing to take in 220?

No.

It is labeled only for 100/120 VAC and 50/60 Hertz

You should be able to find an adapter for 220 that has 12vdc @ 1.5a fairly easily - you will need to find one with the correct connector and be certain that it is center-positive (or change the connector).

If you know an Amateur Radio operator he or she can help you with this.
