R7000P AC2300 firewall

Does this router have a firewall?  I want to process credit cards when customers pay for my services.  The merchant service wants to know if my router has a firewall.

   Define "firewall".  It doesn't have a feature named "firewall", but
it has some firewall-like features.

 

> [...] The merchant service wants to know if my router has a firewall.

 

   I'd say yes.  If their idea of security is to ask you rather than to
run some actual test, then I'd guess that practically anything would
qualify.

Thank you Antinode.  I also spoke with a merchant representative who said if my Outlook is sometimes warning me about a risky email, then that's the firewall doing it's job.

   Outlook, or e-mail in general, would have nothing to do with your
router's security capabilities.  If I were depending on that "merchant
service" for any security expertise, then I might be looking around for
an alternative.  Or, perhaps, someone who works there and knows
something.
