The teenagers drove me to this router. Prior to I had a Linksys with no complaints, followed by a Netgear Nighthawk, which was an outstanding peice of hardware, and the Netgear certainly had some parental controls, but it was a little clunky. As a level set I'm more than willing to fiddle with any electronic to get it to work. I have loads of patience and am the IT support for the house. In truth I like it that way and nerding out with the router is not a chore to me. So I buy the Gryphon and am pretty happy with the router. This also coincided with moving to a new home. Said new home is good sized and has 2 floors. The house is roughly 4300 Sq ft. My office ends up being right next to the router and I really did not have any performance complaints. My family though... Ugh. Complaints galore, and I had written some of it off as a new internet provider when we moved. As I said I continue to fiddle and change things hoping to get a better experience for all. What was frustrating is that the router seemed to put out the signal I needed at the edges of the house and while the speeds were not as fast as next to the router they were acceptable when not being heavily taxed. I finally came to the conclusion that I should add a mesh repeater as the system worked especially up where I did most of my work, but the complaints did not subside so my work was not done. I added one repeater which was quite easy. There wasnt a lot of fussing just scan a qr code on the bottom of the repeater in the app and you're off and running. After I added one it was a bit better....but Still getting complaints. So what's a guy gonna do? I decide to just go deeper down the rabbit hole. Adding a second and... Still complaints... Then eventually a third as I had grown tired of the complaining. I also came to the conclusion after speed checking every corner of the house and swapping around positions of the routers for several days in my spare time. Let me offer this peice of info also.... Sony PS4s have TERRIBLE WIFI ANTENNAS. I could not figure out why I couldn't get their machines to pull the speeds I could when testing on my phone.... Standing right next to the dang thing and I'm getting 200mbps more download speed. After some research I figured out that the PS4 unless sitting almost on top of the router is going to struggle to pull reasonable speeds. Do yourself a favor and just run an ethernet cable if you're in that position, or reserve yourself that you're going to have to add repeaters close to the PS4. That's free advice and it took me a long time to figure that one out. So besides all that I finally came to the conclusion is that this setup does not have great wifi signal out of the box, and you have supplement with the mesh system to unlock true performance. So after all my fussing what kind of speed am I getting? Cloat to the main unit I can pull 500mbps down and 450mbps up. Those aren't typos either. The hardware is legit after it's weak antennas are overcome. In the far corners of the house and yard I can pull roughly 100 mbps down and 125 mbps up. That compares to what it was before of 20ish mbps down and 30 mbps up. It's made a big difference. Lots of whining has gone away and now everyone can do anything they want and not worry about everyone else. Everyone can Zoom at the same time, while playing video games, streaming 4k videos, and uploading selfies to social media. So all that withstanding, what about the real reason I bought it? The parental controls are slick and simple! Want the kids to do their homework? Great just kill all the wifi to only their devices all at the push of a button. Want the wifi shutoff at midnight so they don't watch TV all night? Cool. Just set it up that way for that child. Kids going to "questionable" sites. No problem BLOCKED at the push of a button. When I was having complaints about the internet I had rounded up anything extra I could think of that would suck up bandwidth (Wyze Cams, desertcart Echoes, smart switches, light bulbs etc) nd assigned them all to a group in the app as a user. So when complaints started I could add bandwidth quickly with the push of a button by just suspending internet to those items. Assign static IPs with ease. We have a printer that loves to not marry up with the computers. Set that bad boy as static and never worry about it again. Assign whatever name you like to devices. In my house we have close to 100 wifi items to be assigned. Being able to identify by name (and it makes sense to me) is a God send. I was able to catch one of the kids in a lie because someone came over and hooked into our wifi and you can set it to ask permission to join. Mine is not set that way, but when all your devices are hooked up and suddenly a new one shows up... It's pretty obvious. Want 2.4ghz and 5ghz as a choice? Sure no problem. Want to not have to think about it and let the routers do the work. No problem you can do that too. The system really provides a lot of flexibility and performance once I finally got it all dialed in. It did end up being more expensive than what I could have done with a different setup, but I would not have had such a slick interface to deal with the kids. I am now very happy. The kids have been unhappy since it came in the front door....and I don't care! Lol. I hope you can make your teens unhappy soon too. Review: It was never stable or worked acceptably - MY BACKGROUND: I install stuff like this and related products for a living. I have owned a tech support company for over 15 years. THE GOOD: setup was easy and went well. I had to call tech support once during the process, and they were helpful. It does filter content THE BAD: from when I completed the setup the FIRST TIME (because, I re-did the initial setup SEVERAL times after that, more on that below) it would randomly reboot 2 - 5 times a week. The rebooting was even WORSE if we tried to use the built-in WIFI, so we mostly used a separate wireless access point that was hooked up to the router with a network cable. It was annoying but we lived with it. I told my kids to just pretend that they're using dial-up internet and someone picked up another phone extension in the house. After all that was how my childhood went, builds character. I called tech support about the rebooting and they said to update the firmware. Ok. Done. Still rebooting randomly. Sweet. Moving on though...the rebooting was the only issue (albeit common), until one day the device just went back to factory and lost it's association with my Gryphon account. Tech support manually rejoined the router to my account, but all the settings were lost, and when you're doing parental controls and security groups, there is QUITE a bit to lose. I set it back up again, and it worked for another week or so until it lost the entire account and configuration AGAIN!!! At that point, I re-did the setup, but the moment it finished the setup, it rebooted and reset everything immediately. I walked through the initial setup ONE more time to verify that it wasn't a fluke, but it just factory reset again the moment it completed. At that point, I just disconnected it and switched back to my old router. I have lost so many evenings and weekends on this product, it's infuriating. I'm glad this experiment didn't cost any more money, but the time lost was the real expense. ## Features - AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY & SECURITY – Beef up your mesh network’s coverage, add extra security to your system, and get access to advanced parental controls with the super flexible and inexpensive Gryphon Guardian.

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What I've learned... *by J***E on December 9, 2020* So I've got teenagers.

The app doesn't work exactly as it should every single time, but you learn to live with the little idiosyncrasies and it works well enough to do what we needed it to do. By little idiosyncrasies, I mean things like when you try to do a one-time change of the schedule by canceling just one block of time, it sometimes cancels the rest of the schedule for the day, but not always. What I love is the ability to customize internet access for each device in the house and have easy visibility of what devices are connected and what they are doing. Very easy to monitor kids internet access and prevent unwanted access for each person or on each device, and very easy to control in real time from your phone. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gryphon Guardian Mesh WiFi Router and Parental Control System with Content Filters and Advanced Cyber Security - 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 - Hitron CODA56 Multi-Gigabit DOCSIS 3.1 Modem | 2.5 Gbps Max Internet Speeds | Certified with Xfinity, Charter Spectrum, Cox | 10x Faster Than DOCSIS 3.0 | 2.5 Gbps Ethernet Cable Modem ONLY --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/184353169-gryphon-guardian-mesh-wifi-router-and-parental-control-system-content](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/184353169-gryphon-guardian-mesh-wifi-router-and-parental-control-system-content) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
