Are there any Orbipro, or other WiFi router , gateway that has a geofenced wifi access?

Hi Orbipro1, Good day! Welcome to NETGEAR Community! You may check the Netgear XR1000 Nighthawk Pro Gaming router. https://www.netgear.com/home/online-gaming/routers/xr1000/ Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need further assistance. Regards, Oliver Community Team

Radio in GHz frequenciesis rather naturally range-limited. How would the router know its own location? How would the router knowthe location of some other device (especially one to which it has notestablished a connection)? How would you specify the boundary? Is there some actual problem which you are trying to solve? General advice: You might have more success if you described(clearly) the actual problem which you are trying to solve, rather thanasking how to implement some particular "solution" ("geofenced wifiaccess") which might have little or nothing to do with the actualproblem, if it exists at all.

Then apparently geofencing (as normally defined) has nothing to dowith your problem. Which was my point three weeks ago.

The router you referred appears to have a feature that is a form of geofencing. The description says the geofence applies to the game server that is joined in a restricted vicinity. My goal is to I geofence my small office router to restrict access from devices outside the fenced range.

       What sort of "fenced range" would that be? Radio in GHz frequencies
    is rather naturally range-limited.
    
       How would the router know its own location? How would the router know
    the location of some other device (especially one to which it has not
    established a connection)? How would you specify the boundary?
    
       Is there some actual problem which you are trying to solve?
