TL;DR: Score the Gryphon® Guardian(opens in a new tab) 2-in-1 router and parental monitoring device on sale as of Aug. 4. Use code ANNUAL15 at checkout to grab one for $84.14.


You wouldn’t let your child explore a new neighborhood on their own. So, why would you let them explore the depths of the internet without supervision? You might have noticed that the internet is filled with inappropriate content, with danger lurking around every corner, and so much more. That’s why having good protection for your network is so important.

Gryphon® Guardian(opens in a new tab) is a compact, all-in-one mesh WiFi security router and parental control system. It actively allows you to protect your kids from the dangers of being exposed to harmful content, hackers and trackers, and even excessive screen time. Coupled with good parenting, this replacement router can go a long way to help keep your young ones safe on the web.

As a router itself, the Guardian blankets your home with a fully-secured WiFi network that encompasses all the devices within 1,800 square feet, including smartphones, computers, smart TVs, gaming consoles, and beyond. Thanks to intelligent intrusion detection and malware filtering, powered by ESET technology, any device within range will be safeguarded from hackers, trackers, and other malicious actors. 

The Guardian also puts the control back in your hands when it comes to your family’s internet activity. Working in conjunction with the Gryphon app, the router lets parents set up a secure network with monitored parental controls to help limit or restrict access to specific users based on customized specs. You can filter content, including 1.2 million blocked websites, view your kid’s browsing history, set specific times when kids can’t use the web (like bedtime and homework time), and even suspend internet access to users with the touch of a button.

There’s no need to install any software on your devices. Just download the Gryphon HomeBound app on your phone and replace your current WiFi router with the Gryphon Guardian to get some peace of mind. 

This parental control router is regularly $119, but for a limited time, you can use the code ANNUAL15 and slash the price down to just $84.14(opens in a new tab).
