Many thanks Spjindizzy.

It comes in a little bag that makes the whole thing slightly bigger. But the only essentials is a very short ethernet cable and an equally short power cable, so it can be powered directly from an USB port. It also includes a small normal power adapter, just in case. Very handy. The concept's been discussed in earlier threads if you go back a bit, try searching for travel router or pocket adapter or some such if you're interested. In any case it boils down to 'very useful'.
