Setup - As easy as promoted on Grypon's packaging.
Coverage - in our house (~4,000 SF split evenly between 2 floors) we have one tower and we get coverage to allow 2 people to work from home during the day and 2 TVs streaming in the evening (although some TVs are wired connections). We tried just one tower first, thinking we could add another tower if needed, and haven't needed it. Our tower is near the center of the house close to the 2nd floor ceiling.
Tech support - about the best I've experienced in the tech/device world. We had trouble setting up a 2nd admin in the app and were able to access immediate tech support and quickly resolve it. We used tech support again when an older device (Somfy window shade controller) could not reconnect to the new wifi. I was able to get tech support immediately from the app and solve the problem. Turns out IoT must be used for some devices that have trouble connecting to wifi that switches between 2.4GHz and 5GHz (which the tower does). With Gryphon's tech support help I was able to connect the device successfully to 2.4GHz and it works as it did with my old router.
App - works as expected. Shows all the devices online accurately (which was a problem for the Nighthawk router I tried just before Gryphon). Exactly the functions needed (and probably more that I'll never use).
Parental controls - this was the main reason I purchased this router. I wondered if by purchasing a router focused on parental controls I'd sacrifice other important router features (e.g. coverage) and the answer is no. So far so good on parental controls. I can use it to limit total time and time of day devices assigned to child profiles are used. This is a free feature in the app.
Installation - I purchased a wall mount also from Amazon to hold this router. This has worked well and keeps everything neat. The tower has spots for wired connections, which was part of my the reason for selecting the tower as not all Gryphon products have this.
Gryphon Tower is a really high value product. Highly recommend.

This is NOT a technical review, but a review from someone who understands how technology operates.
What we were seeking in our next router (in the order of importance to us):
1. Customer support
2. Reasonable pricing
3. Excellent functionality
4. Decent firewall/malware protection/detection
5. Parental controls
6. Usable app without crashes/glitches
7. Intelligent bandwidth allocation between units using internet and base/repeater when moving around the house. We are able to stream movies in our home theater (Amazon Video and Netflix), while all the smart devices are connected (Nest thermostat, water/intrusion sensors, Blink video cameras (5 with base station)), utilize smart phones and personal/work laptops all at once! No drops, no latency!!!
We purchased these Gryphons (2 of them) and upon receiving from Amazon, we tried to follow the directions on firmware updates for the units. The first unit updated FAST. The second one - we struggled to update it and clicked on a "button" in the app to have the support call us. Less than 5 minutes later - a call came through from California. The engineer walked us through all the steps. Would NOT get off the phone until everything was accomplished. Connecting via wire, adding repeater, updating firmware, etc... They spent about 45 minutes to complete the process. Even though it seems the action item was completed, they still shipped us another unit with firmware already updated. Upon receipt of the unit, we replaced it with Technical Support being on a phone with us.
Who does that, we thought?..
Placement of the units. Due to our home being somewhat unique - we tried to place one router at one side of our second floor (where Comcast cable outlet is) and another unit downstairs in opposite corner of the house. The signal between the routers was not strong enough (confirmed while speaking to Tech Support). So, we moved the second unit back to upstairs floor, but in opposite corner of the house (and the base station). That in itself produced fast and reliable connection between the base station (gryphon #1) and repeater (gryphon #2).
Now, our first floor and second floor receives FAST, RELIABLE internet connection. Including OUTSIDE of our home! We tested Skype outside of our home and it was receiving a signal about 100' away from the house. We were streaming our video feed to our family showing off our garden :)
Downstairs floor - consistent 175 MB/S! That is from one corner of the house to the next! Absolutely 100% coverage.
Additional important details to consider:
1. The unit(s) come with 1 year support for AI-based protection of the network including malware detection/prevention. As well as 1-year warranty. However, we had an additional option to consider to extend our "firewall" option as well as warranty by another 3 years. We added both!
2. Solid app with ability to ping tech/customer support and the call back in prompt (according to your preferences indicated on how and when you would like to be contacted). Our first attempt to contact the support was on the day of installation of the units. We indicated "now" and the phone number. The call came in less than 5 minutes with someone who was not distracted by other "cases" and was fully dedicated to resolve our issues!!!
3. Gryphon's quality of build is obvious! The packaging, stations, documentation - all at A+ rating!
4. Not sure how, but these Gryphons are able to provide 175 MB/S on our "150 MB/S plan" via Comcast. Tested and retested - consistent 175 MB/S... Very pleased that these units "juice out" all the speed they can get out of our ISP.
5. What we appreciate the most - when requesting an actual support - you deal with REAL people who actually CARE!!!
6. Parental controls are super easy to use - per device that logs into the network - settings per your preference including certain sites blocking with one click.
We look forward to trouble-free experience with Gryphons in our home for years to come! The quality of the product and support warrants us to say safely - we are in good hands with Gryphon! At par (if not better) than Eero (Amazon)!
If someone is looking for similar set-up to ours (very unique building with heavy lumber and thick walls) - two units should work perfectly to provide the adequate coverage.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! A+

Top reviews from other countries
I've also had quite a lot of difficulties with teenagers viewing inappropriate stuff - the Gryphon Support team have been so helpful to explain how to make it as safe as possible, no system can be 100% but the Gryphon goes along way toward it. When they bring in developed tech for preventing VPNs being used it would be better still.
The time delay for getting support is at most a few hours, they're very good responding generally by email, and from the app you have direct access, which has been really helpful when I had questions, and I've had many! There's been no blips in coverage and only 2 essential updates needed when 2 security alerts flagged up because of open ports caused by teenagers trying to dodge parental controls! So, I'm very happy with Gryphon, would definately recommend it. Thanks Gryphon
I finally ordered it about three months ago, am I'm seriously impressed.
I switched my horrible Virgin Media router into Modem Only mode, plugged in the Gryphon and had it set up and running in under five minutes. All configuration and setup is via an app for your android or iphone, so no web based configuration pages to hack.
At this point, a firmware update was awaiting my approval, which I consider VERY reassuring. Since then, I have received two more updates, adding new features and fixing bugs. How many times has YOUR router received an update since you got it?!
From there, I was able to create user profiles for my kids, my wife and I. As each WiFi device appeared on the network, I was able to assign it to a particular user, or a general "family" profile. Once done, you can, "pause" a particular user, set age limits for particular sites, white/blacklist domains, and even block connections at the application level. (No more YouTube today for naughty Timmy!). If a user visits a site that is blocked on their profile, they can request access, and a notification will appear on their parents phone for approval.
The parental controls allows you to set homework time and sleep time, or a maximum amount of screen time per day,
There is also a built in antivirus and firewall, which has flagged and blocked advertising malware being served to my phone on a number of occasions. This will require a yearly subscription after the first 12 months, but I consider this a price worth paying.
Coverage wise, we are in a three bedroom house with a large conservatory, and we have full coverage in every room. Very pleased with the product, would recommend without hesitation.
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.
