R9000 Inbound Firewall Rules

Searched all over google for articles and videos on how to configure port forwarding and enabling firewall rules to only allow a specific range of IP addresses from the Internet to access an internal server on the LAN on TCP/443.

I finally called Netgear support and they gave me a generic user manual that is not that clear, and it's steps is not matching the interface on my router, even though its for the model of the router that I have.

Anyone has any videos to step by step process to get this configured?

Thanks, guru1338

    Is the manual for your device no good?

     

    If you visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    you can feed in your model number and find the documentation for your hardware.

     

    My understanding is that there's nothing you can do with the router's firewall but you can play around with port forwarding.
