Actually it has been around a long time.
Your power supply on your desktop has always been able of doing the
same things. Look at it, it has a switch on it for 110-240. All it
took was a different cord, with the correct end on it for the plug in the wall.
Many of our toys actually use DC which requires a transformer of
sorts to convert AC into DC. So manufacturers got smart and in some
cases made their power supplies dual voltage. (Cheaper than making
one for one country and another for another county.)
Routers and such usually are shipped with the correct power
supply. I have bought foreign marketed equipment and simply use a US
version of the power supply and it works.
