NETGEAR is aware of a growing number of phone and online scams. To learn how to stay safe click here.
Netgear is talking about high security in the WiFi Routers. How about providing a feature to allow only certain public IPs or regions to access the ports configured for forwarding to inside/private IPs. Right now, if you configure port forwarding, that hole in the firewall is available to the whole world, which decreases the security of the connection. It should not be hard to augment the port forwarding feature with options for allowing certain public IPs or regions/countries.
