Arris Launches McAfee-Protected Cable Modem Gateway Through Best Buy

Arris launched a cable modem gateway with McAfee internet security protection exclusively through Best Buy, it said Wednesday. The device is designed to “move the security burden” off individual connected devices and onto the home gateway for “easier and better protection,” said Arris. The $199 SBG7580-AC includes a DOCSIS 3.0 modem, 802.11ac Wi-Fi router and four-port gigabit Ethernet hub. The device has parental controls and comes with three years of internet security protection by McAfee, Arris said.
