Enable Firewall in AP Mode

Question

I am a AT&amp;T Fiber customer. They provide their router (model: BGW210-700)that connects to their fiber access point.&nbsp;I've configured my Orbi RBR850 to act as an access point. It receives its IP address from the AT&amp;T router (all the antennas are disabled) and all my devices (wired/wireless) connect to the Orbi mesh.https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point?article=31218&nbsp;I'd like to utilize some specific capabilities of the Orbi such as firewall (blocking some external address) but am unable to do so in AP mode. I'd hoped to be able to set these on the AT&amp;T device, but these features are fully unavailable or blocked.&nbsp;Any suggestions?&nbsp;

Firewall is a router mode feature thats not available in AP mode as the router side is mostly disabled while in AP mode:

&nbsp;
So use the host routers firewall for any and all needed firewall configurations.&nbsp;
