Can i use firmware from UK region, even in my country sells US variant?

Model: Archer C64

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.13.2

I was looking for a cheap alternative router with per device Bandwidth Limit options,
The UK Page has emulators showing it has the option to do so,
https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/download/archer-c64/#Emulators

But unfortunately my country page doesn't have any Emulator & even on the US page, its a dated one missing the feature
it seems & is lacking even on firmware updates far behin than uk.

Since only US variants are being sold in my country, Was wondering if it shall allow me to update firmware from UK region,
in case US variant actually doesn't have the feature?

In general, you can't install EU region based FW on a US region based device - most probably you'll get an error message.

As per the FW release history the Bandwidth Control feature was implemented in FW release v1.13.1 - details.
