I loved my network-able Blue-ray player I bought, but I despised the wireless adapter which left me always praying my Netflix or U-tube content would really 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 fantastic products.
But, I found this small 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 really downloads the best quality off netflix. I'm really pleased with this. I'm used to wiring and setting up computers, home theatre, and complicated set-ups. I was really amazed at how simple it was.
Excellent 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 quicker connection. |
Worked like a charm

| I was attempting to connect two TVs to the internet. One TV was honestly 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 finished up ordering a third PowerNet for that TV. Now it all works like a charm. |
Buyer Beware -- This is not all you need!

| I bought the 300 after reading several excellent reviews. I needed to get internet access from our Study to my Directv DVR/receiver in the Den, but I didn't want to buy the proprietary device from Directv. The 300 was the same price, and seemed much more versatile. But, when it arrived, I realized, that now I need to spend another $100 for a 2nd device! Wasted my time researching this device, ordering, waiting for it, now returning it and I still wind up ordering from Directv since I'm not willing to shell out $200 for internet access since my home already has wifi. May be a fantastic product, but the information could easily have included that the 300 gets you butkus without a 2nd unit! |
