PowerNet: Ethernet Anywhere What is PowerNet? PowerNet is Monster’s innovation in powerline networking technology. Part network adapter, part line conditioner, PowerNet lets network traffic and internet flow through the standard electrical outlets in your home. PowerNet 100 PowerNet 200 PowerNet 300 Ethernet ports 1 1 3 (4 total) Transfer Rate Up to 200 Mbps Up to 200 Mbps Up to 200 Mbps AC Outlets 2 2 Grounded Plug Clean Power Surge Protection Removeable Cord      Rotating Plug Use for Websurfing, email, and other light tasks Streaming video or playing games with a single device Connecting multiple internet components The Connected Home Today's home is full of devices that require connection to the internet and to each other, going beyond the capabilities of devices such as AV recievers. Even TVs have IP connections for accessing content stored on a local home network and the internet. Not all devices have built-in Wi-Fi, and even those that do have limited performance to access HD content or play online games. The Problem with Wi-Fi While Wi-Fi may be acceptable for email and browsing, it lacks the speed and consistency to move large amounts of data used by HD content and games. Even with the latest version of Wi-Fi available (802.11n) the data can be limited by walls and floors in your home, and can be interrupted by outside RF interference from other devices in the home. Combine that with the added complications of setting up Wi-Fi networks and and the use of it as a solution becomes less appealing. For a consistent experience there is no better  method than a wired connection to the router and internet. With a wired connection, you are guaranteed the fastest speeds without interruption by other devices or the limitations of transmitting through walls and floors. The Problem with Adding Wires to Your Home Installing wires in your home can be a messy, time-consuming, and costly experience. Unless your home is gutted, adding Ethernet wiring to your home can be a huge inconvenience to your enjoyment of your Ethernet devices. Additionally, many condo, co-op and home associations prohibit this type of installation. You want your ethernet to work immediately and function at the highest speed possible. The Solution: Monster PowerNet Every PowerNet module works on Home Plug AV Power Line Carrier (PLC) technology that utilizes the exisiting electrical wiring in your home to send and receive Ethernet signals between your devices. With speeds up to 200Mpbs, Monster PowerNet is the perfect solution to connect all of your Ethernet devices quickly, easily, and in a cost-effective manner. Anywhere there is an outlet in your home, you have an Ethernet connection. PLC does not provide the speeds of a direct connection to a router; however, Monster PowerNet performs at 200 Mbps, faster than any Wi-Fi connection. Monster PowerNet Advantage Unlike any other PLC Ethernet modules, PowerNet 200 and 300 modules provide features such as an AC plug (no loss of an outlet on your wall), and with PLC Clean Power filtering to reduce noise and interference on your electrical lines caused by appliances and other electronics. This not only improves network speed, it lets PowerNet work where other power line communication products won't. The PowerNet 300 even has 3 additional Ethernet connections allowing for 1 module to be used for multiple devices. With all these features, Monster PowerNet is the best solution available for distributing Ethernet throughout your home. How to Set it Up Setting up PowerNet is as simple as it gets. First, run a standard Ethernet cable from your router to one of the PowerNet modules. Next, plug the PowerNet module into a nearby electrical outlet. Repeat these steps for the device you want to get a network connection to and you should be in business. No passwords. No confusing set up. NOTE: If your PowerNet module is not providing a connection, make sure that 1) the two outlets are on the same circuit breaker (not a problem in most homes) and 2) that you have turned your router off and back on.

CHAVEZ I loved my network-able Blue-ray player I purchased, but I hated the wireless adapter which left me always praying my Netflix or U-tube content would actually play. Same with my networkable TV, I'd always lose the radio or the news. My PS3 online gaming was a joke wirelessly. I dreaded running a network cable from my livingroom into my bedroom. Such a downer for such great products. However, I found this little device and AMAZINGLY everything works flawlessly! It's literally plug and play. High-speed networking that's virtually wireless!!! You need one on your router end to plug "wire" a Cat5/ethernet cable into and one for wherever you want to have a "wired" connection for your equipment. You use a Cat5/ethernet cable to "wire" your components into the Monster PowerNet which is plugged into the wall. No cables between rooms, only between your router to PowerNet which plugs into the outlet and one from your components to the PowerNet 200 or 300. You may have to reset your components from wireless to wired, but after that, it just works! NO more jagged netflix, waiting for info to load, missed songs or slow online gaming. It actually downloads the best quality off netflix. I'm really happy with this. I'm used to wiring and setting up computers, home theatre, and complicated set-ups. I was really amazed at how easy it was. Good luck and buy it! It really is worth it if you use networkable products, or even if you have a wireless deadspot in your home. I'm glad I found this because it's much cheaper than running network cables through my home which was going to run me ($3,000-$4,500). BTW the difference between the PowerNet 300 and PowerNet 200 is the PowerNet 300 allows for more than one component (4 ethernet ports) in a room. The PowerNet 200 has only one ethernet connection. The PowerNet 200 & 300 also gives you some surge protection & line conditioning (clean power filtering) which erases some of the "buzz/noise" or interference in your walls to give a faster connection. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Hard device to keep in sync By Marcellus Perkins Sr. I purchased 3 of the powernet 300's, thinking I would have the answer to all my streaming problems because I really like streaming in HDX. The "orange" light keeps coming on after I have meticulously and sucessfully paired them together. The orange light indicates substandard signal. Yet, when I wire directly from my Clear modem the speed is consistly between 6MBS -10MBS. Somewhere, the signal keeps dropping. These devices are tedious to keep in sync. When you call for support, be prepared to stay online from 30 minutes to an hour just to speak to a representative. It is almost impossible to figure if you have a faulty box or just not configuring your system correctly. For all the difficulty these boxes should be half the price. Maybe then, I wouldn't be so disappointed by all the time I have to put in just to get them to function correctly. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Worked like a charm By Jerilynn Jenderseck I was attempting to connect two TVs to the internet. One TV was fairly close and the second TV was on another floor. First I got two PowerNet 300s and connected one to the router and one to the second TV, the one farthest away from the router. That worked quite well. Then I realized the signal was not sufficient to connect the TV on the same floor as the router. So, I ended up ordering a third PowerNet for that TV. Now it all works like a charm.
