Question regarding R3

[thahyp]

Hello,

I'm new here and I just purchased the Netduma R3.

Although it isn't my first Netduma, I can't remember whether the search times will be affected or not.

Let's take this example to clarify, 

I'm searching at the same time players in the US are searching, will we find a match to a server close to me when I use the geo-filter?

Or is it basically the same as using local search in for example Halo, where I would wait longer but would eventually be matched up with players who would get the same close server I got.

 

Please clarify this to me.

Generally, if the game population is large enough then you shouldn't really notice much of a difference in search times. Of course the more servers you have in your radius the faster it would be.

Yes, that's a given,

but my question is technical about the idea behind the router,

does it force servers? or just blocks?

if it just blocks it's kind of useless 🙃, because games nowadays implement an option for local servers.
