You can but due to firmware may not be able to support with Malaysia
Not SIRIM Certified. I cannot guarantee that the router will work in Malaysia.
Do contact TM about this issue.

If the router support VLAN out of the box, you are good to go. Asus router is a safe bet as it's firmware is universal ans support VLAN out of the box.

Since not most of the router support VLAN Tagging. Check with the dealer about VLAN Tagging. My best advice is to buy local warranty set so that you can obtain/claim warranty if anything happens.

It's actually a very good router. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3994248I got one here from Garage Sales for RM50. What's your budget?

If you want to troll, try putting more effort  How does a router work if it doesn't have antenna. No visible antenna doesn't mean no antenna

Got engineering, no need external antennas. Most of the the stuff I use don't have external antennas. I bet your smartphone also dun have antenna right?

I have purchased an Asus router from Taobao and currently using it ASUS AC 66U for RM 2xx. Seems to be an European set but looks new . Without the retail box.
The Unifi ISP setting is already in built. No problem to use on the spot. But u need to find a shipper able to ship it back to Malaysia. The normal freight by air dont ship modems. It took me 6 weeks for sea freight.
Hope this helps.
