Geofencing WiFi 6
Are there any Orbipro, or other WiFi router , gateway that has a geofenced wifi access?
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?
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.

"physical access to the [...] wired [LAN]" is normally dealt with by
running cables to only secure places.> both device and router would have to be capable
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?> 750 square foot apartment.
Hang some aluminum foil?
Unfortunately the modem, router, access points can be virtualized and spoofed.
Yes these are enhancement and development request.
I am pleased with the netgear products i have previously and currently own. Though i cannot easaily ensure the network, hardware, or device integrity.
If the edpoint access point could ensure its physical location maybe.
I hope the research and development advances the security of all communications.
And yes there are radio shielding wall paper, wall materials, and window interlayers. Expensive and difficult to retrofit.
