router firewall settings on my Nighthawk AC 1750 model number R6700 ?

How can I find out what my firewall settings are on my router. I have a Nighthawk AC 1750 model number R6700. I can't find it in the Nighthawk app.

    They don't exist.

     

    If you have a particular setting that you need to change, check the manual.

     

    Visit the support pages:

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    You may have done that already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

    I have no idea which app you are using, but those apps are less capable that using the browser graphical user interface (GUI). Check the manual for how to use that.
