Gryphon Connect 4+

The new Gryphon AX router is really fast and is great for people with lots of devices on your network. However, here are some suggested improvements:

- UI in dark mode - needs to be consistent. Some parts of the app don’t adhere to dark mode and are impossible to see. Need to revert to “cool” mode to see them which is anything but idea
- AX adds a great new feature for network and client separation. This introduces vlans which is great! However, would love it if you could select your own segment rather than defaulting to the next class C
- would be nice to be able to sort users on the user screen. Find myself scrolling through constantly
- would be nice to quickly turn off HW or Bed time from user screen (as you can do with user dashboard or on user screen with suspend)
- fix 2FA. Repeatedly asks for me to setup. After going through the process it informs me that I’m already setup. Repeats. Very annoying.
- it would be great if you could “force” a device onto the base station or repeater. Right now a device seems to get pinned to a router even if there is a better option nearby.
- add scale as a device type
- firmware screen should provide notes on exactly what was addressed in latest version. There doesn’t seem to be any place that provides details on what the latest fw fixes/addresses

Other than these items (wish list), software is decent

After using the Gryphon Wi-Fi 5 routers and their Wi-Fi 6 AX routers and software for years with nothing but excellent results and barely a hiccup, we had to switch our home router to that of Ring Alarm Pro and that’s where Wi-Fi that worked turned into something that’s suppose to protect your family but can’t tell you what sites or apps it’s blocking because even though you paid for it, you’re still the product. Gryphon doesn’t have and endless junk store that needs to be turned over before the next cargo ship from China delivers our next batch of outsourced and off shored items whether the factory has nets to catch their suicidal employees , or not. Those things cost money and you should put your money with a company that values your privacy, and safety, and at least provides you with some information whereas with other systems you’d be left guessing. While it may not be perfect and that may lead to more customer service inquiries and questions, the support team at Gryphon was always willing able to assist tracking down whatever the issue may be and following up to see if it resolved. Unfortunately, bigger isn’t always better as companies perspectives and goals are different. You should choose wisely as your home router is truelly the gateway to all of your information, data, files, photos, etc. Sign up for the newsletter and don’t let others marketing shinanigans get in the way of using this underdog companies equipment and software at front of your internet.

I really want to like this router. There’s nothing else out there that quite compares. I’ve looked and searched the Internet for reviews of several different devices that try to do parent controls and things there’s no button that says activate even if it is already active, it never says activate, you get suspend suspend in five minutes suspend in 15 minutes. Will the internets not working on that device so what in the world is going on on the homepage? How about just make a nice simple button that says Internet for instead of having to try to figure out what Group is not working or what’s going on Group make three categories that you put things in and always on category category that turn on and off and one that’s always blocked. Then you can talk on everything that’s in the category that can turn on or off and you can see the devices that are in those grouped categories. Well still maintaining the other groups real life scenario happens frequently. Hey dad, the Internet, not working. I’d like to turn it on, but it appears that Group is already turned on sorry kids don’t know why you don’t have Internet that stinks. Maybe I should switch my router, but I really like the features turn off the Internet.
