I just bought a Netgear WiFi router. I'm trying to find where on this I can set the firewall settings, but I have so far failed.

The admin screen has no obvious place for adjusting firewall settings, and clicking around I haven't found any:

I previously had an Xfinity Gateway and was able to easily find the firewall settings on that. It feels weird that I haven't been able to find it for this new device. When I've tried online searches for how to change firewall settings, the screenshots and descriptions don't match at all to what my admin screen looks like. Where can I find the firewall settings?

(old thread, but here for reference...) It appears there aren't specific firewall rules! I think Netgear wants you to buy their NETGEAR Armor subscription. However, if you go to security and click: Advanced -> Security -> Access Control, you may find devices "Blocked". Turn on "Access Control" and enable as needed. I had to do this to get WAN access to some services I have.
