## Description

desertcart.com: Gryphon Guardian Mesh WiFi Router and Parental Control System with Content Filters and Advanced Cyber Security : Electronics

Review: Very happy, parental controls are the best so far - 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 Best way to do setup, as though there *are* videos on the web they are sometimes out of date: start with the Gryphon app.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.
Review: Very good router with great security features - Let me first state that we've had this router for about 8 months now, and it's certainly one of the better routers that I've had. Some of its best features are its range, its security features, its user profiles, and its parental controls. I keep it in the basement laundry room, which is about the center of our split-level house, both horizontally and vertically. I've had no problem getting connections anywhere inside the house, and I do pretty well with most of the yard outside of the house. I do very much appreciate that the developers of this router have made security a first-class citizen, and it frees me from being overly concerned about such things. Few of us really have the time or the knowledge (even those of us that do IT-type work) to tackle such chores, and who wants to put up with that drudgery anyway? ok! maybe some of us! But it does give me some sense of safety, especially when I know that not everyone using the internet is super-savvy about such things. It's very convenient to be able to control the router from the phone (or tablet), but the inability to do the same from a web interface can sometimes feel limiting; especially, when you're first setting things up, and you have to spend time with virtual keyboards. The app previously allowed only one person to administer the router. Logging into the app on another mobile device would cause the initial admin device to logout. Fortunately, this has been changed so that a secondary admin can be defined. This allows my wife to take care of stuff if I'm away or busy with other things. With the hardware seeming quite capable, there are some things with the software where I'd like to see improvements. I know some of these have been recognized by the company, and some changes have been promised. I'm still waiting for many of them. Here are my gripes: * Clearing many notifications in the mobile app can be a pain. Sometimes, it would be nice to be able to see the content of the notification without having to go into the app, drill into it, and click a button to clear it. Most of these are "Malware Detected" warnings. These almost always seem to be triggered by a fetch of a blacklisted URL when my kids are playing games and visiting game sites. Most are mysterious in the sense that we don't usually find them in the list of sites (in the app) visited by the user (children only). The notification also doesn't display the URL, so it's hard to analyze anything about them -- I suspect they are probably advertising/tracking links or images that are not necessarily from the sites being directly visited. It would be nice if the notifications were handled in a smarter way (machine learning FTW!) or maybe just better categorized as incidental and either ignored or grouped for easier dismissal. * As mentioned above, the app saves a list of the sites visited by child users. Only the hostname is saved with an image of the home web page and a timestamp. That's ok, but it would be nice to be able to review all and entire URLs visited. Maybe too much info? Dunno. Some sites have a lot more places to explore, and having the option of viewing it gives power to the user. * The option to save browsing history is present for child user profiles, but for some reason the same option is not permitted to adult or guest users. I can only guess that this was done for privacy reasons, but my personal opinion is that I should be allowed to see internet usage within my household. I guess you can control this by selecting the appropriate age-group profile to use. * I *wish* that parental controls had finer-grained day/time control, and maybe even the ability to create custom-named schedules and one-off changes to them. As it is, there are two schedules: one for bedtime and one for homework. Schedules can be turned off or on for each day have have only one start time and one end time to apply to all of them. The coarse handling of scheduling makes it inconvenient when you want to use different times for the weekend or if you want to permit multiple periods during the day. My older TP-Link router had its granularity at the hour-level, and it allowed me to freely schedule many usage periods throughout the week (it's weakness was that it couldn't create independent schedules for different users like the Gryphon can). The perfect scheduler would be similar to the one that I get in modern calendaring apps where I can click on a calendar grid cell, drag it around, lengthen or shorten it to adjust the permissible "online" period and even click on the online block to customize it further. * Being able to add to the "Apps Control" list for user profiles would be a bonus. I'm not sure what it would take. The current list is ok and affords some control within the bedtime and homework schedules. There are probably other nice-to-haves that I've thought of while owning the Gryphon router. Overall, I think I'd still pick this router over many of the others, but with its age and its price still in the premium range, I'd expect less expensive similar functionality from competitors growing more common.

## 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.

As it is, there are two schedules: one for bedtime and one for homework. Schedules can be turned off or on for each day have have only one start time and one end time to apply to all of them. The coarse handling of scheduling makes it inconvenient when you want to use different times for the weekend or if you want to permit multiple periods during the day. My older TP-Link router had its granularity at the hour-level, and it allowed me to freely schedule many usage periods throughout the week (it's weakness was that it couldn't create independent schedules for different users like the Gryphon can). The perfect scheduler would be similar to the one that I get in modern calendaring apps where I can click on a calendar grid cell, drag it around, lengthen or shorten it to adjust the permissible "online" period and even click on the online block to customize it further. * Being able to add to the "Apps Control" list for user profiles would be a bonus. I'm not sure what it would take. The current list is ok and affords some control within the bedtime and homework schedules. There are probably other nice-to-haves that I've thought of while owning the Gryphon router. Overall, I think I'd still pick this router over many of the others, but with its age and its price still in the premium range, I'd expect less expensive similar functionality from competitors growing more common.

### ⭐ Great router with the best security. Lacking 24/7 support
*by T***S on February 28, 2019*

This router is a breeze to set up. The security is probably the best I have ever seen. The issue I have is I get poor coverage just outside of my home. I live in a small brick home of 1200 sq ft. The coverage is good inside and the speed is acceptable, 260 to 441 mbps wireless. Just outside I get 18mbps on the front porch and 60mbps on the back porch. So the 3000sq ft coverage doesn't mean much to me. So when I was thinking about adding a second repeater I had trouble with the thought that you have to pay full price but get no second year subscription to the services as the security services are done through the main router. On another note, I have gone online and started chat two times and was told I was first in line. After hours of waiting I never chatted with support either time. My other request for support were answered a day later or longer. I have been called back one time be a very nice gentleman in Canada but that was at 1:00am in the morning. Fortunately I work at night. All in all I think this is as powerful as the orbi(I have owned a rbk50with major issues) with a security package that can't be matched.The app is probably the best I have ever seen and VPN is non existent even though I saw it in some of the advertising. 24/7 support is something that I have not been able to access. And it is by email only until they decide to call you. For the new kids on the block $400 is far to high for two units since you only get one year subscription to services weather you buy one or two. I will keep my Gryphon only because my Orbi had issues with devices dropping on a regular bases.While connected the Orbi gave me 225-250mbps in the same location this router delivers 18-60mbps. I feel there are better choices for people that live in older built homes that are brick wuth cast drain lines and copper piping.As of writing this review I have had a question submitted to Gryphon support through an email reply and have been waiting since 5:36pm on 02/21 with one reply that didn't answer,it was a reply from them on why my Gryphon was offline. That off subject reply was 02/25 at 8:07pm so I re submitted my question on 02/28 at 8:03am and it has been 9 hours without a response. If you want a great powerful router with questionable support then go right ahead, but if you feel like you will ne fast support then I would veer in a different direction. I am keeping mine because of the firmware issues with the Orbi. When that is resolved I will be switching back. Update as of 03\01/19 At a 25 ft distance I am now getting 11mbps upload. This thing crashes and then recovers when it wants to. Thinkin about going back to router/access point system. Update as of 06/19/19 The router is now dropping the connection to my wireless adapters every few minutes. When this happens everything in the house looses wireless internet connection. All of my devices see other ssid but not the two I have set up on the gryphon. This router has turned out to be a total waste of $200.
