   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?

   General advice: You might have more success if you described
(clearly) the actual problem which you are trying to solve, rather than
asking how to implement some particular "solution" ("geofenced wifi
access") which might have little or nothing to do with the actual
problem, if it exists at all.

  The problem is secure restricted logical and physical access to the wireless and wired lan network.
  
  750 square foot apartment.
  devices have location awareness with NFC and Bluetooth in range of router, and other means.
  both device and router would have to be capable
  maybe a Fido standard for wireless access.
  
  Coincidentally, some Lifi companies promote secure proximity data exchange. Though those are still developing.

       You have some, or you want some?
    
       "physical access to the [...] wired [LAN]" is normally dealt with by
    running cables to only secure places.

       So, all you need is a router with hardware and software which no
    Netgear router has? And devices which do not suffer from similar
    limitations?

       Hang some aluminum foil?
