TG3442DE Teardown

A fun project disassembling and understanding a Vodafone TG3442DE cable router (aka Arris Touchstone TG3442: commscope.com product page).

Goals

  1. Using the cable-interface for wiretapping and analyzing the DOCSIS 3.1 Protocol
  2. Understanding why Vodafone does not support IPv6-addresses while the router is in bridge mode (to be proven: IPv6 is used for VoIP-Telephony and is therefore terminated at the TG3442 running in bridged mode)

tg3442de-teardown's Issues

Were you able to dump the firmware?

I got a tg3442s/ce off ebay for about 12eur. Before attempting any hardware hacks, I wanted to know if you were able to dump the firmware?

Request: Disassembly Instructions

Hey, thank you for all the efforts directed at documenting this device!

I am interested in possibly making a rack-mountable shell for this thing, but I am a bit confused by how is it supposed to be disassembled. Removing all 4 visible screws does not cause it to fall apart, and it won't budge even with a little applied force in all directions and cracks.

I would love to keep the original shell intact and not destroy it utterly, any hints?
