Any newer (AX or later) Asus router that is supported by Merlin should be able to run AdGuard Home. You can do a web search for “AdGuard Home Asus Merlin” to find relevant projects/instructions on Github and discussions on SmallNetBuilder forums. Not really needed though since Asus Merlin has amtm which lets you use Diversion and Skynet, which do an equally good job but are much lighter on resources.
A couple of GL.iNet routers (Flint and Flint2) come installed with AdGuard Home, but buying them in MY is a bit of a hassle. I don’t know of any local resellers in MY. Shopee and Lazada stores will ship them from Hong Kong or Taiwan, so your delivery might be held by customs due to the Sirim requirements and whatnot.
Probably any OpenWRT compatible router with sufficient RAM can also install AdGuard Home via opkg and LuCi quite easily. The hard part would be getting OpenWRT installed on that router in the first place.
Mikrotik routers probably compatible also, likely via containers (I have zero experience with this brand so just an assumption here, please don’t quote me on this).
I have purchased a GL-iNet Router directly from their official shopee before, no issues with customs

For OpenWRT supported routers, personally I like Xiaomi AX3200/ Redmi AX6s for its cheap price at CeX (used 2nd hand shop)
https://my.webuy.com/product-detail?id=6934177754951RM70 for it, CN version that is somewhat easy to hack to get OpenWRT running on it
Mikrotik has support on some models, the ones with Arm SoCs
Personally, I still prefer running these on another device, like a Raspberry Pi, or clones, or a x86 mini pc, or any old laptop/netbook can run it as well
