| The cables may or may not come with the router... depending on what the company decides to include. Most likely not... You can get a 7ft cat 5 cable for 3-8 dollars. Linksys and Belkin are respectable router brands.

| The only cable usually that comes in the box is a crossover cable, to connect the modem to the router. As TheRecluse said, Linksys, and Belkin are great brands. I also like Netgear. I wouldn't recommed going with a cheaper, lesser known brand, just because it will be harder to find support information on it if you ever need it in the future for things like port forwarding. Also when you purchase cable make sure you don't purchase crossover cable, which is a mistake a lot of people make.
