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.
