You should still able to make internet connection with wireless region US but to your answer yes and not. Some has shown trouble flashing other firmware. You may able to do that with TFTP method if European firmware do not upload from the router GUI.
Or maybe it's not the reason why I don't have a connection - please give me an advice what I need to do to fix it.

Your first obstacle is to have pc directly connected router with ethernet cable and make sure you can get internet connection and deal with wireless region and/or firmware issues.
