The ARRIS Touchstone DG3450 is a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem gateway designed for gigabit internet with reliable Wi-Fi for busy homes and small offices. It’s backward-compatible with DOCSIS 3.0 and supports advanced features like MoCA 2.0 for whole-home coax networking.
Homes with many connected devices, 4K streaming, video calls, online classes, and light gaming looking for a single all-in-one gateway (modem + router) that’s easy to deploy and manage.
The DG3450 is commonly approved on major cable providers like Xfinity, Cox, and Spectrum (availability varies by region/plan). Always confirm with your provider’s device list and ensure your service tier matches the device’s capabilities.
