Come on guys, the silly router runs on DC, not AC. The real question is whether the power supply used to produce the AC can deal with 50Hz or not, assuming an adapter is used. Most modern power supplies are switching power supplies with a range of acceptable AC frequencies and voltages. Anything within that range will work. If worse comes to worst, the purchase of a local power supply with the required connector and most likely either 6 Volts or 12 Volts DC would suffice. Other issues to consider though involve the European scheme for Wifi, the acceptable range is slightly different. Some routers actually can be programmed for the North American or European standard. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
