Today's Electronics Need a High Speed Ethernet Connection
Ethernet isn't just for computers anymore. Many of your AV electronics, like Blu-ray Disc™ players, TiVo® , and video game consoles feature high speed Ethernet ports to connect to the internet to download movies and music or stream video and music from your computer, or media server. But most times, there isn't an Ethernet connection where you need it. You could connect wirelessly, but WiFi can be unreliable, difficult to set up, and can't deliver the speed you need to play multiplayer action games or stream HD video, especially over long distances.

High Speed Ethernet From Any Wall Outlet
The Monster PowerNet™ 200 brings a high speed Ethernet connection to any room in your home. It instantly turns your home's existing electrical wiring into a high speed whole-home network. You can get blazing fast speeds up to 200 Mbps* for multiple connections to the internet or streaming high definition audio and video. It's also incredibly easy to set up – simply plug in two PowerNet devices and they automatically connect to each other. You can add even more network connections in more rooms of your home with the PowerNet 200 Expansion Module, available separately.

Faster and More Reliable than Wireless Networks
The Monster PowerNet 200 is the ideal solution for streaming HD movies and multiplayer action games that demand a high speed connection with reduced lag time. Wireless (WiFi) can keep you waiting when you want to quickly download a movie, and it is often too slow to play online action games or to stream an HD movie to another room in your home. WiFi can pick up interference from other wireless networks, and it can also have dramatic drops in speed over long distances because wall, floors, and doors can severely degrade wireless signal strength.

Exclusive Monster PLC Clean Power® Filtering Cleans the Power to Increase the Speed
The Monster PowerNet 200 maintains high speeds to even the most remote rooms of your home 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 the PowerNet 200 work where other power line communication products won't. The Monster PowerNet 200 is the easy, fast solution for high speed networking and internet access virtually anywhere in your home.

*Data transfer rates may vary according to electrical line conditions and will not exceed the capabilities of connected devices.

          I was frustrated with the weak wireless signal I had, so I went in looking for the latest most up-to-date wireless device. Am I ever glad the Bjorns staff turned me on this. Absolutely awesome! I was streaming HD movies from my blueray only after 5 minutes to set up. Monster got it right!!

                I used this product to replace wireless communication between my viewing room and the computer room upstairs for the Home Theater. What a surprise! This product works so well, and was so easy to set up I had it running in 3 minutes without a hitch. It could not be easier. I can easily stream HD content Running at 20Mbps with room to spare. I will definitely buy more of these modules for around the house to expand my network. Monster, you did it right!

                    I drilled holes through my old growth figured maple hardwood floors to run ethernet. THEN my father in law gave me a starter pack of these. I plugged them in and they work great. Then I put a cork in the hole in the floor "DOH".

                      • In addition to wireless

                      I use this product in different areas of my basement because I can not get a good wireless signal! I just plug the powernet into what ever outlet I am closest to at the time and instant 100mbs internet! I use it on my laptops and my pS3. The PS3 really helps for system updates because it is so much faster than using my weak wireless connection.

                      One thing to remember though is the plugs are on the side so I have a couple of outlets I can use the ethernet but could not plug into the power outlets

                      Over all this is a great product easy to set up and easy to move around the house!

                      Important Monster® Performance and Safety Tips
                      Listen Responsibly

                      To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level.

                      Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any noise at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss.

                      Monitor your use; hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is, the more time you can listen to it. Refer to the chart* below.

                      This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and shows how they rank in potential harm to hearing.
                      SoundNoise Level (dB)Effect
                      Whisper30Very quiet
                      Quite Office50-60Comfortable hearing levels are under 60 dB
                      Vacuum Cleaner, Hair Dryer70Intrusive; interferes with telephone conversations
                      Food Blender85-9085 dB is the level at which hearing damage (8 hrs.) begins
                      Garbage Truck, Cement Mixer100No more than 15 minutes of unprotected exposure recommended for sounds between 90-100 dB
                      Power Saw, Drill/Jackhammer110Regular exposure to sound over 100 dB of more than 1 minute risks permanent hearing loss
                      Rock Concerts (varies)110-140Threshold of pain begins around 125dB
                      "....a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per day at 70% volume."
                      "....knowing the levels one is listening to music at, and for how long is extremely important."
                      From http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2006/10/19/music-earphones.html
                      Get the most out of your equipment and enjoy great audio performance even at safe levels.
                      Our headphones will allow you to hear more details at lower volume levels than ever before.

                      Use Responsibly

                      Do not use headphones when it's unsafe to do so - while operating a vehicle, crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention to your surroundings is required.

                      It's dangerous to drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because it decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle, such as another car's horn and emergency vehicle sirens.

                      Please avoid wearing your headphones while driving. Use one of Monster's FM transmitters to listen to your mobile media devices instead.

                      Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org and the Deafness Research Foundation at www.drf.org.
