Netgear Nighthawk x4 ac2350

I want to know if the Firewall (s) on the Nighthawk x4 ac2350 model R7500v2 use stealth porting, and if this is turned on by default. Thank you.
  • Hi craigressler,

     

    The router does not use the stealth porting type of firewall. R7500v2 will always response with “reset” packet  if  client send packet to non-opened port.
