I read review before i buy it and see review that some people be have problem with ac adapter . however , mine work fine and no problem so far fortunately , so hopefully everyone get like this one . it come in brown simple box as description say . there be about 5ft or so ethernet cable -lrb- cat5e -rrb- and instruction of how to get start in the box , which be very simple number step and with clear picture anybody can do it -lrb- as i do it first time connect modem -rrb- . it be pretty compact in size and indicator lamp be easy to see if it be work correctly . it be a good buy for sure . additional info : I also buy a router , Linksys e3200 =  Cisco by Linksys Factory refurbish e3200 High-Performance simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router  if you be look for upgrade for you old one but do not wanna go top notch pricey one , these be great combination to buy .
