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

AX router is great! Especially if you are interested in security. Its range easily covers my 2500sq ft home/garage/lanai. This is my third Gryphon router and I will continue to be a loyal customer. Support, if needed, is tremendous. I needed some guidance and both Craig and Bryan were extremely helpful. The app is intuitive.

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.

The Gryphon router offers excellent parental controls and security, with easy setup and strong performance. However, some features require a subscription, and adding mesh units can be pricey. Still, it’s a great choice for families prioritizing safety.

I moved up from an aging Gryphon Tower network to this new Gryphon AX network. I have to say first the Customer Service is bar none. They helped me set it up and import all my old settings from my devices, parental settings, etc. That alone was a life saver. I am looking forward to enjoying the higher speeds & reach my faster Internet connection allows!

I've been using this for about 3 years, and some stuff is great: Being able to group devices into different levels of access/times for access, disabling internet for the whole house, etc.The bad: no real user configurability outside of the app. You can't log into the router to troubleshoot issues, which means you are at the mercy of Gryphon's support when you have issues - and their support is not really timely. For instance - I've been trying to figure out why the router is limiting my internet connection to less than 100 mbps. If I bypass the router, I get 300 mbps. Its been 2 weeks - and I've gotten 2 messages from Gryphon support. One was them pushing a firmware update to my device, and the second was them asking to do a factory reset and restore on the router. Neither worked to resolve anything, and I haven't heard back from them in over a week now.A device like this is aimed at busy parents who just want some that works. The filtering and screen time limits work great. But know that if something isn't working properly, you'll have a long wait AT BEST to get a resolution.
