Tip #5 

Wire Your Home … Without Wires!

You don’t have to be clairvoyant to read the tea leaves and see that the delivery of entertainment on physical media is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Audio cassettes and VHS tapes gave way to CDs and DVDs which are now in turn being replaced by online digital delivery of content. For movie fans, the final moment of truth came when popular DVD rental site Netflix announced that it would offer a streaming-only option for movie rentals.

Depending on your personal hoarding habits, you may or may not like the idea of all your entertainment being stored offsite and streamed in just when you want to use it, but you might as well get ready for it.

Many folks believe that having wireless broadband throughout our homes and offices is the answer to sending content to wherever you want to use it, but there’s another wireless option that has tremendous advantages: turn your entire house into an Ethernet network without installing a single wire!

While wireless broadband is great for Internet search and email, the demands of streaming entertainment require greater bandwidth and higher speeds. Music, movies, multi-player online video games and now 3D TV all require greater speeds for premium performance, speeds that only a true Ethernet network can deliver.

Retrofitting an existing home or office for Ethernet used to be a messy, expensive proposition requiring technicians and long cable runs. Not anymore!

The Digital Life™ PowerNet™ products from Monster Cable make it extraordinarily easy to turn your home into a fully wired entertainment network with six times the range of typical wireless broadband and twice the speed. Forget all the annoying pauses in streaming movies or the dropouts that paralyze the action in multi-player online games; with PowerNet™ those are things of the past, just like BetaMax and 45s (ask your parents if you don’t know what those are!)

Even better, the PowerNet™ 200 and 300 units include PLC Clean Power filtering to reduce ‘noise’ from other electrical appliances. This improves speed and let’s your devices work where other power line components won’t. Not only that, your valuable electronic components will be protected from damaging power surges.

Easy installation. Faster speeds. Greater range. Beautifully streamed entertainment wherever you need it. Clean power. Surge protection. What’s not to like?
