Gryphon AX – Ultra-Fast Mesh WiFi 6 Parental Control Router – Advanced Content Filters and Next-Gen Firewall - 4.3 Gbps Across 3,000 sq. ft. per Router for Multi-Device Households

I recently upgraded my router from Gryphon first-gen router to their AX router and am happy with network coverage and performance across the entire house [ ~2000 sqft ]. It also provides network coverage to security cameras outside of my home on all sides, which was a pain before. After taking advantage of all the features from the router, I would like to emphasize three significant attributes.Basics: I bought the router and was able to get it in less than a week, thanks to amazon and Gryphon. Thanks to the Gryphon team's new application, the installation was a straightforward process, which provided intuitive features such as speed tests, parental controls, and security scans. I wish to have more features to minimize the transition between screens for adding devices to a personal profile, but this is just a wishlist, and I have raised it with the Gryphon team.review: 5/5Network Performance: My wife and I are busy attending zoom and hangout sessions with colleagues in our home, and the kids are busy attending classes from home. I don't recall any instance where I had to restart my router or complaints from my kid or wife mentioning wifi not working. I even tested speed tests from various corners of my home and attached screenshots from web page-based and mobile applications. In most scenarios, I received downlink speeds of about 375 - 500mbps across the house using my iPhone, but with closed doors and running a test from the farthest corner of my house, I received about 40mbps though my experience didn't affect.review: 4.5/5Parental and Security: With young kids at home, this has been a concern all the time, but with filters and security port scan features from Gryphon, it was effortless and seamless. I cannot reveal the brand name, but one of the security cameras I had had open ports showing its vulnerability, and my router was able to point out [ Sharing the screenshot ]. Also, malware detection has pointed out the websites and devices showcasing these websites [ attached screenshot of malware information ]. I recommend anyone to use this router for the sake of family safety.review: 5/5

As parent of a 10 and 12 year old I absolutely love this router. They have put a lot of thought and time into developing the app, which is VERY user friendly. I can easily control my kids devices and screen time. I can set daily limits and then easily add bonus time if needed. The router is also extremely fast, has great coverage throughout our large home. We have 5 people with a TON of devices and smart home gadgets and it works great, and has never needed to be reset. Can't recommend it enough.

I'm sure that this is probably a nice router once you get it set up. The problem is that you have to set it up using a mobile app -- I was not aware of this. There are a number of things that I like to do using a mobile app, but managing all the functions on my router is not one of them. Their reasoning is that it is inherently unsafe to have a web interface to access the router, which may be true, but there are other down sides.One issue is that you need a reasonably strong mobile signal in the space where you set up the device; unfortunately, that is not a given in my basement -- thanks a lot AT&T. I eventually got it to sync up and was able to connect, but everything else that I need to do, I have to do on the smallest screen that I own using my fat fingers on the tiny buttons. The app was not great either. I had to inexplicably restart the router a couple of times beause it showed on my phone that it was offline even when I had an Internet connection on my phone. The app only has a 3.1 star rating on the play store, I didn't read the other issues people had, but apparently there were some.One last thing that seems small, but I'm going to put it out there. This thing comes with a grippy, rubbery finish on the outside of it. My experience is that within a year or two, this coating will degrade and will come off on your hands or whatever else touches it. I don't have to touch my router a lot, so maybe this isn't a huge deal, but it's unneccessary, and it has to cost more to coat the ABS outer shell of the device with that stuff. The spot where I tried to set this up was dusty, so now it is white with black finger prints all over it that don't come off that rubbery coating.
