    It uses a 12V DC power supply so the WAG320N doesn;t care what the mains voltage is. The power supply would have written on it what voltages it works with.

    well it converts a main voltage to 12v DC that is the router input, but that doesnt guarantee that the voltage converter accept an input voltage of 110-240v AC. depends on the thing router i have now is 100-120v with an out put voltage of 5v DC

    The power supply would normally have the AC input voltage range written on it. So if the router uses 12V DC, then you'll need one that converts 110V AC input (or one that says 110-240V AC input would also work) to 12V DC. A 5V one will not work.

    I don't actually own the router I mentioned above I'm looking to replace the one I have with the cisco wag320. What I wanted to know was if anyone here had one so they could read the input voltage on the plug. I know it won't work on the 5v dc one I have

    I have two netgear routers and the power supplies are 110-230v. They can be used with either or. I would think its the same in ur case.

    All you need is a plug converter, it takes 110->240.
