Why you need this ultra-secure mesh Wi-Fi router right now
gryphon wifi router deal 2020 lifestyle

With more and more of our time being (somewhat unfortunately) spent online, it's perhaps an opportune moment to think about upgrading one of the more innocuous devices that you own: Your Wi-Fi router. Unless you're old-fashioned enough to still be hardwiring to your modem via an ethernet cable, chances are you have a Wi-Fi router hiding somewhere in your home, and however unassuming it may be, this device is the linchpin of your internet connection. No matter how fast your ISP may be delivering internet signals to your home, if your router isn't up to speed, you won't get the full benefit of that connection.

But speed isn't everything. One thing you may not consider when picking out a new Wi-Fi router is security. As anyone who has received an email from a sultan promising large sums of money knows, there are a lot of dangers lurking online. There are also the many sites containing content that, if a bit shocking to adults, is certainly stuff that we don't want our children to see.

Enter Gryphon Online Security. Gryphon was founded four years ago by John Wu, one of the inventors of the MiFi mobile hotspot, and Arup Bhattacharya, who developed the media processors that powered the Apple iPod, after Wu found his daughter looking at inappropriate content after searching for "princesses." The two made it their mission to keep adults and children alike safe online and block intrusions and malware by filtering the internet at the source. Because most households average 12 devices connected to their Wi-Fi networks, maintaining software and monitoring each device simply isn't a feasible solution. And with kids averaging seven hours a day online, it's impossible for parents to be aware of their activity all the time. (It's estimated that 90% of children ages 8 to 16 have seen inappropriate content online.) And parents themselves and other adults aren't safe either. It's estimated that 70% of devices are vulnerable to hacking, and this at a time (the COVID-19 pandemic) when there has been a 330% increase in hacking activity.

Amazon slashes the price on Eero Mesh Wi-Fi System routers
amazon slashes black friday prices for eero mesh wi fi systems wifi router extender 1

No one ever complained their internet connection was too fast, but consistent connections are even more important than throughput rate. An ideal home network setup has dependable connectivity throughout, with ample speed for every need. The more computers, connected gaming systems, mobile devices, networked security cameras and lights, and smart home components in your home, the more you need the best possible Wi-Fi connections. Mesh Wi-Fi systems offer several benefits for home networks, but balancing performance and enabling the sharing of wireless connections throughout their coverage range are the most important. Amazon slashed the prices of Eero Mesh Wi-Fi System routers, one of our favorite models.

Home networks with mesh Wi-Fi systems typically set up configurations with one or more routers and range extenders. Eero Beacon Range Extenders add up to 1,500 square feet of Wi-Fi coverage to a system that uses an Eero Mesh Router. You can also add more routers, instead of range extenders. Each additional Eero Router adds 1,500 square feet of coverage and also has two Ethernet ports for devices that require a wired connection to your network.

I have Meta Quest 3S and this is the best VR accessory yet — it’s on sale
Kiwi Design best VR accessory Meta Quest 3 headstrap

Ahead of the holidays and some prime family time, I've picked up the Meta Quest 3S. So far, my family is absolutely loving it, and my kids are constantly bugging me to play games, explore worlds, and get virtual. Naturally, I manage the time we're all spending -- you don't want too much screen time. But regardless, every one of us ends up becoming immersed, which means spending a lot of time with the headset on. One of the biggest drawbacks of the stock setup is that the headstrap is uncomfortable, and it puts a lot of pressure on your face. That means, the Meta Quest 3S's best VR accessory -- and the Meta Quest 3, too -- is a new, custom strap.

We grabbed the Kiwi Design Quest 3-Quest 3S headstrap and it's fantastic. It's also on sale right now for 20% off. Normally $30, it's discounted to $24 with a coupon code. Why am I sharing? If you pick up a Meta Quest 3 or 3S for yourself, or you're planning to gift one to someone over the holidays, I highly recommend ordering one of these straps. It vastly improves the experience and makes wearing the headset much more comfortable. It's also easy to adjust the fit, which is a big deal for kids. You have no idea how frustrating it was to constantly adjust the headstrap for my children between each turn.
