Dear All,
First post to this forum, so please be gentle.
I am not a tech expert by any stretch, but I can usually hobble on and get by.
Currently living in Batley, West Yorkshire, UK, and have been using Vodafone Broadband for some time now, I believe it is Fibre To The Cabinet (FTTC).
My speed test on WiFi is usually around 50Mbps.
I am using the Vodafone provided hub, along with some TP Link Extenders, which I created separate SSID's for.
I am currently toying with the idea of buying a new Modem and Router to upgrade my home system, and to try and future proof it a little.
The Router I have taken a liking to is the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE 1 1000, which is a WiFi 6E Router.

The only problem is, this router is currently not available in the U.K and the only place to buy it from is the U.S.A.
Question 1: Will the router work as it should in the U.K, even if it was purchased from the U.S.A ?
Question 2: Is it possible to buy the correct plug adaptor to use in UK 3 pin sockets, and to use with our AC ? I don't want to use any step up / step down devices or convertors.
I understand I will need to buy a separate modem, as the ASUS ROG AXE 1 1000 is only a wireless router, and not a modem.
Thanks in advance for your help guys, I look forward to reading through the rest of the forum in due course.
