The router you referred appears to have a feature that is a form of geofencing. The description says the geofence applies to the game server that is joined in a restricted vicinity.
My goal is to I geofence my small office router to restrict access from devices outside the fenced range.

What sort of "fenced range" would that be? Radio in GHz frequencies is rather naturally range-limited.
How would the router know its own location? How would the router know the location of some other device (especially one to which it has not established a connection)? How would you specify the boundary?
Is there some actual problem which you are trying to solve?
General advice: You might have more success if you described (clearly) the actual problem which you are trying to solve, rather than asking how to implement some particular "solution" ("geofenced wifi access") which might have little or nothing to do with the actual problem, if it exists at all.
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?

Which "you"?

Did you look at the XR1000 User Manual?

Of course not.
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.).
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.
