Gadget Gift Guide - Home Office, Automation & Security with guest John Wu (Gryphon)

In fitting with the gadgets we've rounded up for this fun yet practical gift guide, John Wu (CEO of Gryphon Online Safety) joins us to talk about:

• The worst place many people choose to put their Wi-Fi router
• How Renaissance statues like David inspired their router's design
• Why you shouldn't fiddle with your router's antennae
• The great tech equalizer between parents and kids
• How a home router can protect your Internet even when you're traveling
