Digital Express POWERNET 200
Today, I got my Monster Digital Express POWERNET200. It’s a PLC with Clean Power filter.
On the packaging it says “Instant Setup” which I want to re-word that to “No Setup”… it is that easy!
This device allows you to “forward” your internet connection to another room via your existing power line.
Wireless can be slow and get interference from other wireless device. The wireless signal can degrade and blocked by wall, door, etc. Monster Digital Express POWERNET 200 brings a very impressive up to 200 Mbps and protect your equipment from power surge. So far I’m very satisfied with Monster DEP200 with its speed and its reliability.
I did speed test from www.speedtest.net and got almost 20Mbits/s or about 1500 KBytes/s (which I normally got around 2-5Mbps using Airport Express + Airport Extreme combo). I still use my Airport Extreme as my router and wireless network.

After using this Monster PowerNet 200 for about a month now… I would say this product is really really AWESOME!! It does what it advertised and works perfectly!
I’m hitting constant speed +1200 KBytes/s on Cat5 cable, and +2000 KBytes/s on Cat5e cable. I wonder if Cat6 will give me faster speed?
Also need to optimize the coaxial cable, looking for affordable/reasonable gold-plated 1-2ft coaxial cable. Monster’s coaxial sale for $25! yikes! But its built looks very solid and “majestic” compare to other brand.
Almost forgot, I’ve upgraded my Safari 4 beta to the full release version from Apple. The speed increase very noticeably!! Especially like me, always browse with many many tabs! New tab and page loads very very fast (almost instant). The only complain I have is that the tabs are now laid under the URL address, where in beta version they were on the title bar… giving the users more real estate for the website content.
