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

Thank you.
I have not learned gaming. I am not familiar with the gaming server environment you mentioned. Is this for a game room setup where there are gamers near a group,of servers?

Did you look at the XR1000 User Manual?

Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in that model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "geo". Note
that it refers to "the distance from you [that is, your router] to the
host or server of the game", _not_ to the distance between you [that is
your wireless device] and your own router.
[...] We recommend that you set a distance radius in the range
from 500 km to 3,000km (311 mi. to 1,864 mi.).Does that sound to you like what you want?

a gaming server 300-1900 miles away? What if local network desktop server and distance from device to server.
I sorry I'm not versed. I meant distance from device to router and transmitter in a local area or closed network. For example a digitized library that grants access to devises digital in its surrounding common areas, or extended areas in offsite common areas and access points.
Or range restricted access to the local area to reduce vulnerable surface area from spoofs, interception, man in the middle.

Well, duh. The question was 'Which "you"?', as in "the gaming server
environment _YOU_ mentioned".

with your problem. Which was my point three weeks ago.
