Restrict Firewall exception to a specific incoming IP

I'm looking to open up Port 22 (SSH) for incoming traffic from a specific IP only (not open to the world).

 

Can't seem to find the proper firewall/router configuration for this.

 

Suggestions?

Not possible on stock firmware. Well, it's doable, but you'll need to mess with iptable rules

Can you recommend an alternative model (or Brand) that's more suitable for this need?

 

I have this requirement and will be looking to replace the R7000 with something capable of handling this traffic restriction.

 

Thanks!

AFAIK, no other brand supports that. Also, we can't recommend other brands here as there were people banned by doing so

Yeah... that's just not ok. I see several posts from individuals needing this same functionality to keep their SIP/VOIP systems viable - past time for Netgear to step up.

 

Returning this to Amazon I guess.  I know I can do this in Cisco IOS, but was hoping for an easier path.

 

Thanks for the information.
