    Yes they should still work depending on your provider and what they support has nothing to do which what country you're in, but diffrent routers come with diffrent standards. All routers in the USA that are sold come with the DoD 802.11 standard already installed. You shouldn't have any problems as long as your isp supports what you're trying to use. I would use what they're giving you though.
