N450

Can this be used on DSL?

       Is that accurate?  "N450" is a speed, not a model number.

       If "this" is a CG3000D (or anything else with "DOCSIS" in its
    description), and you're looking for a DSL modem, then, no, its modem is
    a cable-TV-type modem, not a DSL modem.

     

       It may be possible to configure it as a wireless access point, so you
    might be able to get some use out of it in any network, but it's useless
    as a DSL modem.
