Review: Easy to connect, easy to use. Happy with this purchase. - Purchased this router about a month ago. The router was easy to connect and easy to use. I added the same password as my old wi-fi and all devices just connected to it seamlessly. I only had to identify them and assign to users. The app works great. The filtering of google search and youtube search also works very well. This is exactly what I needed to manage internet connection for the kids. Highly recommend to everyone. The strength of the connection is overall better than my previous router and the wifi modem. Although I expected a slightly better connection, I guess my thick walls and non-central location of the router affect it. I guess it all depends on your setup. A central location would give better coverage, but it is impossible in my case. I may have to buy the second unit eventually, but for now, I connected my old D-link wi-fi extender to get the full coverage of the remote corners of the house (about 150sqm). Overall - I do recommend this unit to others. It is easy to use and it does what it supposed to do - protect your kids and your house online while allowing you to stay in charge of the family.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does intrusion blocking and firewall turn off entirely at one year? What security features remain without subscribing?**
A: That's a great question.  Thanks for asking.   Sorry if the answer is long but we take your security and privacy very seriously.   Gryphon will still be a more secure WiFi router with free parental controls, content filtering, screen time management, network management, and more.   It also has the following that makes Gryphon inherently more secure:

1)	 Automatic security patch updates.  For example, we addressed KRACK with a software update.    Most routers don’t get software updates because it’s too difficult or just not available.  We at Gryphon make it a priority to keep the software updated to address any WiFi or other security issues.  Done seamlessly.
2)	 Secure boot which does not allow the running of 3rd party software without the binary being certified
3)	Gryphon does not use web browser for configuration.   Web interface has been a favorite for hacking WiFi routers
4)	No remote open ports for management, which makes it more secure and protects your privacy
5)	The software is 3rd party tested for vulnerabilities

What you won’t get after the first year if you decide to opt out of the service are:

1)	Malware/ransomware filtering.  The database is constantly updated with a daily feed from ESET
2)	Intelligent Intrusion detection for protecting all the smart connected devices like webcams and thermostats
3)	Network vulnerability scanning like scanning for vulnerable open ports or vulnerable devices
4)	Homebound™ mobile device app for managing kids devices even when not on Gryphon network
5)	Extended hardware warranty

I hope that helps.   Feel free to reach out to us at support@gryphonconnect.com if you have more questions.  We love to hear from you.   Thanks again for reading to the end…. :)

**Q: Does gryphon work with the duckduckgo search engine?**
A: Hi there.   Good question.  When safe search is turned on for the user profile, duckduckgo is blocked and only Bing or Google is accessible with safe search forced on at the network level.   We would love to work with duckduckgo to enable safe search for them as well in the future.

**Q: How many devices can be hooked up to this unit?**
A: Thanks for the question.   Each Gryphon can support 3 wired LAN devices and over 250+ wireless devices.    Each Gryphon has three separate radios, one for 2.4GHz, one for 5GHz, and a dedicated 5GHz backhaul for wireless mesh.     Having separate radios helps with congestion by spreading the load.   BTW, you can also prioritize a device on the network in case you want to stream Netflix and there are others on the network watching Youtube.   :)

**Q: Where can i read more specific technical information about how you are using eset for web filtering?  do you have a whitepaper online?**
A: This device utilizes ESET's web filtration database. That is, according to Gryphon, the entire ESET filtration for URL's  is stored locally on the Gryphon and updated regularly and your browsing data is NOT sent to Eset.

*by R***M on 26 September 2019*

It is easy to use and does as advertised

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy, parental controls are the best so far
*by L***E on 23 August 2020*

Purchased this and 3 Guardians to replace a Verizon Fies G3100 and Apple Airport-based wireless network. (Yes, I could have kept the Airport Express setup as non-mesh access points but was worried about compatibility problems, and was time to move on). Provider is Verizon Fios Gigabit. Look, I was of the "just teach your kids/let them teach themselves screen limits, it's part of being a parent". LOL. With COVID, kids home with no one and/or a sitter instead of a parent, and having a kid who considers 24 hours to be a reasonable upper limit of screen time perday" mindset, this was NOT working. Just need some basic structural rules in place besides haranguing, pleading, and threatening. Most of this review is going to be about the parental controls/app, but some basics on the setup: Some people report setup issues. I had no problem, but it took a long time by the clock (as each unit had to connect, update its firmware, etc). I saw no reason to rush this. Best way to do setup, as though there *are* videos on the web they are sometimes out of date: start with the Gryphon app. It will ask you to scan the QR code on the base unit, will then tell you what to plug in or power up and not, then proceed. Once that is up, in the app: network/add mesh repeater, and continue for each Guardian. They have switched to wired pairing--you use a cable--for the initial setup, which I think is wise, then you move the mesh repeater to its final position afterwards. Second step: identify the items (name them) and assign to a user. Sometimes you can tell the manufacturer, but often it's just a MAC address so you may spend some time staring at the labels on devices (MAC addresses almost always on a label or on an internal menu). to narrow it, you can tell how the item is connected to the network though (which repeater, or if hard-wired). Took a while to map out our 30 devices (computers, then thermostats, sprinkler, a scale (!)....) Overall network performance is quite good, nearly as good as Fios' native G3100. [Full disclaimer: my mesh repeaters are hardwired, aka "wired backhaul", which frees up some of the radio issues]. I get 250-500 MBps by Ookla speedtest when a device is connected by 5GHz, about 80-120 Mbps when connected on 2.5GHz, and 850/300 wired just now. Varies somewhat. Haven't load-tested very much, or tweaked, could probably be better. No connectivity issues *except* when I tinker with certain settings in the app--I suspect that the router interrupts service briefly when it saves settings--various cries from around the house when I do so. In terms of the app: I ditched the Verizon G3100 because of the unpleasant discovery that it only allowed one rule per device: that is, one on/off time per day. No afternoon + bedtime. Compared to that, Gryphon is absolutely wonderful. I have not seen most of the issues described by others, so I assume they have been fixed in firmware or app updates. I would praise the following: --Devices are assigned to a user, and you control user access as a group. So, if I suspend access, it ends access for all the devices at once. (More on devices that use cellular later). --Thermostats, printers, etc. have no user, so don't get accidentally suspended (though as some have noted you can give them a user group if you want extra control). --There are pre-assigned categories of filtering based on the age group that you assign to the user. For example, assigning toddler I think blocks everything, but you can approve individual websites (done by attempting them, finding them in the "blocked" list and saying "allow"). Assigning Middle School allows website monitoring but does not autoblock everything, but allows screen time restrictions (see below), app-use restrictions, and enforces google safesearch/youtube comment block, and does not allow VPNs. "Adult" lets you do everything and does not track websites. You have some control within each re. turning things on and off relative to those defaults. --Screen time: Very, very good. Not perfect, but by far the best. For each user, you can set 3 sections of time: BEDTIME (which is suspended internet), SUSPEND (which seems to be the same), and HOMEWORK which allows internet use but blocks certain categories/apps (we don't have Facebook, but could block it then; or Youtube; etc). You can set this for multiple days of the week at once, but also can vary it by day of week. So I can set BEDTIME for Sat/Sun in one step, and BEDTIME for Mon-Fri in a second step. Done. (No copy from user to user I think though). --Screen time 2: there is also a total screen time per day limit, also changeable/fixable by day. I don't know how this works, but there seems to be some sort of "rescue request" that can be sent and/or approved if the user runs out of screen time and wants to ask for more. --Simple internal safeguards: Devices are "known" by their MAC address. Savvy users will know how to spoof the MAC address and pretend to be a new device, but there is a setting to block internet access for new devices until you approve, preventing this. [You get pinged that someone has tried, so you can for example let the babysitter have access if you gave her the password but forgot to do this before you left]. Other safeguards: VPNs can get around the website filters, but there is a setting to block VPN use for a given user. --Using cellular: Another quick workaround is to use cellular to escape the router. However, there is a HomeBound app which institutes a VPN on the mobile device, which enforces the same restrictions as if you are the home network. I have tried this (iPhones only) and it works (though we will see if my kids can defeat it). Unlike what some wrote, it is *not* (at least on iOS) dependent on having the app running on the target phone, closing the app makes no difference. You need to block "deleting apps" in ScreenTime as deleting the app will reportedly defeat it. Important: texts and phone calls still work, even if the service is in the "suspended" state at home/through HomeBound. This is good--don't want to deactivate the phone. I don't know about Google Maps (maybe would function as if offline). Need to deactivate for a few days while your kid is visiting Grandma? You can turn this entire Homebound control on and off from the Gryphon app at the user level, no need to uninstall/reinstall. Nice additional options: --There is a "suspend" quick option for all users or individual users, and you can set it to suspend immediately or in 5 or 15 minutes. Dinner in 5 minute kids! I mean it! -You can turn off the screen time limits above for a given user for a day, then they will restart again normally the next day. I imagine this is: kid home sick, or it's a holiday, no need to dismantle your entire elaborate screen time program and rebuild it. No need to remember to turn it back on. --Works with OpenDNS. One thing I didn't see: Some report that users are able to ask for website such-and-such to be allowed, or to send a list of websites to be allowed, or getting some kind of splash screen saying how to ask for access. Got none of this yet--just the internet works, or it doesn't, for a given site. I'll look for this. Overall--love it. Not perfect. Much better than anything else I've tried.
