Supposedly they are not allowed to be imported to Singapore since they are not approved by IDA.

Q1. Any difference between local set home WiFi router n oversea router.
Ans : Yes, of course
1. Operationg Frequency spectrum
Local router allow additional channel 12 & 13
Oversea router may only up to channel 11

2. Power plug
Local router come with UK std 3-pin plug
Oversea router come with on 2-pn US/China plug.
(In olden days, some time you may need to buy a transformer to use it locally)


Q2. do I need to re config or just plug n do some basic set up
Ans : Yes of course, all router need to do some basic setup whether you bought locally or oversea.

Lastly on top of xiaofan, pls read up on these 2 links
1. Regulation of Wireless and Telecommunication Imports into Singapore

2. Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA)

Unless there's like 30-40% savings, I rather purchase local sets.

If you buy from TB, router firmware probably in Chinese.
