External IP Filtering

Does the Orbi RBR750 (or any newer Orbi models) have the ability to block all external IP addresses unless I allow it? For example, I have a major Brute-Force-Attack on an SSH port that I must have open for one external connection, but the attacks are daily. If I could set the IP that I would like to allow and block all others, that would be ideal.

Thank you in advance for any assistance or advice,

I think the answer is, "No."  The passes packets to the designated local IP address and it is up to the receiving device to accept or reject them.  What sort of machine is SSH running on? (Windows? Linux? Mac? NAS?)

Thank you for your response. It is the Apple M1 Max Mac Studio, 32 GB ram running Ventura.
