I just got my router today. Having unpacked it there is no ethernet cable(manual says ends would be yellow) in the box. Is it possible to get one sent out? I'll even pay the additional P&P
My broadband doesn't go live until Tuesday but I am unlikely to have a chance to pick one up from a retailer before then. I have to stay in for other stuff being delivered and some work done
My workstation that I intended to use cabled doesn't have wireless. I have a 10m cable but I just this morning concealed it under flooring etc to go through to my bedroom. Ha - no good deed goes unpunished.
I would raise a ticket for this but the one I raised asking if my phone service was ExDir took a few days to get an answer. I could probably get one by then.

In fact, if possible could you take a photo of the open box and send it to me?

I'd already unpacked everything to see that the modem cable was long enough to reach where I ideally wanted the router to sit on the desking / shelves I am having installed. I can repack it if you need me too or do you just need some QC info from a label?

I'm sorry about this, it shouldn't have happened. We've raised this with our suppliers and will make sure that we add this to the list of things to investigate when we next visit the factory.
Normally each packed box is weighed at the end of the assembly process and the weight compared to a preset known correct weight. The scales are calibrated so that even if a piece of paper is missing the box will be rejected and sent for checking. This is the process we'll be checking when we next visit the factory as it seems to have failed for your router.

Years ago I used to be a quality engineer for an external manufacturer for Sun Server Systems. There we used to operate PPA (post pack audit) too but there it meant a sample of goods were fully unpacked and run through all qual again to check for results correspondence between testing processes.
ps all the lights on my router work except internet(Red) not due on til tuesday but does this mean i can be activated early?

45 secs of downtime for me on a service you instantly did pretty much as a favour. BRAVO
I can now stamp on that ****** little t-mobile dongle I have been using and not have to buy wasted credit. I can also fit my SSD in my workstation and reinstall OS and apps on workstation as I can update before next week starts. SAVES ME MAJOR HEADACHES.
I absolve you of your patch lead sins, go in peace. Forget the cable as this is actually worth me moving the workstation into the bedroom as I reassable it and I'll get one on Monday morning as now I have time.
