no it works as it used to for other games except sfv with the new patch, as far as population goes the game has as many users as before. The maps still works so all i have to do is check to who im connecting to before accepting a match to make sure there not to far away with the seach disabled im still able to see who im connecting to before i accept the match so i guess in a way the router still works i just have to screen the match before i accept which is only a slight bother.
