Home is where the WiFi is. And when there’s WiFi, there’s a wireless router.

You never really think about your router unless your connection becomes unbearably spotty. In which case, you begrudgingly walk over to your router and toggle with its power button until your internet finally allows you to refresh your Instagram feed or continue your Netflix binge. And then proceed with your life without thinking about it again.

But given that your wireless router is the lifeline of your internet, and the one device in which all your gadgets rely upon to get a connection, you ought to also consider the security it provides. Browsing the web with unsecured access leaves you and your family vulnerable to intruders — intruders that may take advantage of your personal data.

If you’re in the market for a new WiFi option, this one from Gryphon is on sale. Reportedly fast, powerful, secure, and not to mention stylish, this router could be just what you need — and it’s on sale for $209.99.

And sure, it costs a pretty penny compared to most routers on the market, but you can’t really put a price on security, can you? Here are some reasons why it’s worth the splurge:

1. It gives you total control of your internet

Gryphon offers a host of features that can help you manage your internet traffic. There are parental controls you can use to access your kids’ browsing history, set bedtimes or homework times, or pause the internet altogether to allow for more family time and less screen time. There are Safe Search and YouTube filtering options you can turn on and off to hide inappropriate content from your child. You can also pre-approve sites your kids can visit depending on their age, and they can request access to restricted pages which you can accept or reject with just a push of a button.

2. It offers peace of mind

Designed with your safety in mind, this state-of-the-art router keeps tabs on your internet’s security 24/7. Thanks to machine learning, it assigns a unique fingerprint on each device and warns you if there’s any suspicious activity detected. Once it discovers something fishy, it cuts off the affected device and inspects it for malware. Gryphon also automatically upgrades to the latest software and protection updates to ensure you’re always secure.

3. It doesn’t mess with your internet speed

Gryphon comes equipped with a quadcore processor and tri-band radio to provide each device its own data stream, resulting in less congestion and faster streaming of up to three gigabytes per second. And with 4×4 MU-MIMO technology, you can connect as many devices as you want without compromising your connection.

4. Say goodbye to dead spots

You know that one corner in your house that WiFi doesn’t reach? That shouldn’t be the case if you use this router. It offers up to 3000 square feet of coverage, enough to fill an average sized home with ample signal. You don’t even have to rearrange your furniture to put the router in a prime spot. Gryphon is designed to have its six high-powered antennas placed in different angles to boost signal quality. And if you have a larger home, the wireless mesh technology lets you link two or more routers to cover your entire place — and the backyard.

5. Easy setup

There’s no need to deal with complicated software and an unnecessarily long setup process to start using Gryphon. All you have to do is install the accompanying app, plug in the router, connect the ethernet cable, and you’re good to go.

On any given day, the Gryphon would set you back $249.99, but for a limited time, Mashable readers can get it for $209.99 — a savings of 16%.
