    Potentially? yes. Realistically it can be a large issue though. You're going to want to contact the ISP that you'll be using there and seeing what services they provide and what modems/gateways they use. They might require their own to be used or your current one might not be compatible at all.  Just a quick google search showed 24 different providers in the dominican republic.

    You picture shows a R7000. Here's a thread that discusses changing wifi regions. Usually US versions are region locked but potentially you can change it with some effort on your part
