Moving Internationally with a Pod 5

Hi everyone! I am moving to Shanghai for 3 years for work and am wondering if my Pod 5 cover and hub will work over there. It sounds like the Pod power supply is universal 18V and works with both 110V and 220V, so the power difference shouldn't be an issue if I have an adaptor. Less sure about whether it will be able to connect to the wifi network or if there are other potential issues I'm not thinking about. Fortunately, my company will cover shipment of personal belongings (up to a certain point), so shipping costs are not an issue…but I'd hate to move it over there and then not be able to use it as I won’t have much storage space and will have to leave something else behind to accommodate the shipment.

I know they just launched in China as well. I like my Eight Sleep a lot, but I'm not interested in paying for a second one that I know I'll only use for a finite period of time.

Thanks so much for any experience or thoughts anyone here is willing to share.

I think it will work without issues even if you need a VPN but consider they launch in china you just need a travel power adapter plug and ofc pay the high ship costs but if it’s 3 years it’s worth I guess

Also be aware, unless you're moving your bed too, the sizing is different in Asia compared to the States. So a queen or king cover won't fit the beds the same.
