I show you how to get your Monster SoundStage speakers connected to your home Wi-Fi network in this episode. The process is easy, even if your router doesn't support WPS (if it does, check out our Monster SoundStage WPS tutorial instead!)

Simply use the Monster SoundStage app after connected to the Wi-Fi network put out by the SoundStage speaker itself. Follow the prompts and use your web browser to provide the credentials for your network of choice after naming your speaker, and SoundStage takes care of the rest. Give it a couple of minutes, and your Monster SoundStage speaker will join your home network, ready to stream your favorite music.

If you need an insanely fast external SSD drive for your Mac or PC, then look no further than the Elgato Thunderbolt Drive+. Despite the name, you can use this drive with either Thunderbolt or USB 3.0, and since it is an SSD with no moving parts, it's ridiculous fast with read and write speeds. I use it to do video editing directly off of for Final Cut Pro X, and it never skips a beat.
