Is it okay for this modem to arrive in a "generac brown box"? I've seen on here with electronics that is it arrives in a plain box to return it.

My modem arrived in a plain box and has worked well for the past year and a half.

Actually, it's more like it comes in a pretty box with cables so that someone can "re-sell" it (like you would buy off the shelf, at one of the Big Unnamed Store). Opposed to coming in a 'plain' wrapped, just use out of the "plain" box. In other words, exactly what is described "Reseller Kit".

Hi Suzanne,I never took possession of the item. However, the company was very helpful during my research phase. I lost track of how many times I phoned them. Every person I spoke to at Generac was quite knowledgeable and eager to please.By the way, my sister purchased a refurbished Dewalt from Home Depot for a fraction of the cost. It's more powerful then this Generac model. All of the refurbs at Home Depot or Lowes are completely reconditioned as new and come with a warranty. You may want to consider this option.Michael

Frank, I'd hate to make a promise on that. I'd suggest you call Extang and possibly send them a photo of the installed box.

Mine came dhl with brown outer box and still was beat up. Send me an email address and I will send you a pix of the actual box. I'm a collector so damaged goods do me no good.

Absolutely terrific machine, I would gladly buy another as a backup (sorry not sure of the wattage but plugs into ordinary 3 prong socket)But will not get another till I find one here in LA already. I built Tripp-Lite a new one after it was delivered from Chicago.The delivery box was in shreads. I blame TL for a crap box although it really is Fed ex or UPS that makes the delivery but no matterI would have bought another except for that problem. thanks dave

I have it in the house where the cable enters. cable guy said it wasn't needed and i should not have it but after testing it he said it didn't harm the internet signal. I had a storm take out my modem and the switch and the router so their protection wasn't clearly enough (I have full UPS on those devices so it had to be the cable.) This NEEDs grounding but it can be done inside; the cable company should have their grounding already but that is just for severe stuff; this wouldn't save you from lightning, that is what their grid is designed for- this supposedly will help from the left over surges. I've not had lightning hit the cable line again in the area so I guess I'll find out if it works then.

Mine came in a plain brown box with paperwork but no discs. A factory system restore partition was pre-loaded on the hard drive. I burned a set of rescue restore DVDs for it with no problem. It was a refurb (through Amazon from Secondipity.com, I believe) and has been flawless thus far. Very fast machine.

CD driver ships with the motherboard, cables and I/O shield in a plain brown box - not a retail box

My drive arrived the same way and i can tell you that there was no problems with it. It was still in good condition and works perfectly fine. Hope this helped.

Mr. Stenberg ~ I'm not equipped to explain techie things, but that's why I've got my (2) Trendnet boxes. The first one was strictly to use my Roku (purchased a few yrs. ago) then I noticed I was getting interruptions a lot, so bought the new, TRW-736 to boost it. Found out later, I can get all I need from my main modem . however, I'm not removing ANYthing!! I've got the 3 on my table, behind my monitor, and that's where they'll stay! I'd hate to upset the apple cart. I wish i could help you more, but I believe going online to one of the help sites might be your better bet in getting assistance. I apologize for being so naive in this area. JMA

I would return to Amazon for an exchange. One should say received and the other one should say sender. The sender does not have a power connector port on it, whereas the received user does.

Amazon just forwarded your question to me since I bought this same modem recently. I can't answer if the one you're purchasing is brand-new, since you'd be buying from a different seller. But, I can attest that the one I received was advertised as "used - Like new", and indeed it was - excellent condition, but not original packaging. If by triple-play you mean it handles internet and telephone, yes -- it has both ethernet and telephone jacks as outputs. Did not come with battery. My problem with the modem was that Time Warner doesn't support it! Tried to connect with Time Warner, they could see it, and could see it was working, but couldn't get it to connect - until they finally told me it's not one of the modems their system supports. So I've still got the thing here, as far as I know works fine. Only paid $35 plus shipping for it. If you'd be interested in trying it, I'd sell it out for the same price - much cheaper than I've seen offered anywhere else. Respond if you would like to consider the offer.

I'm waiting for it as well. I have one on order from Amazon. The short answer is that shipments are supposed to resume in June but go here for the story. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30399/97/

My generator arrived damaged, it appeared to have been dropped or squashed by a fork lift. I called the seller and they told me to send it back and they sent me a new one. You have to inspect the unit before you add any oil or gasoline or they wont take it back. The net unit arrived in fine shape.
