7.0.6 Splitting a Network into Two Networks
This section shows you how to split your existing network into two networks. This
is useful if you want to set up a second powerline coaxial network in your home,
for example, in your study connecting a laptop and printer. See
Figure 41 on page
65 for an example.
To set up your existing powerline coaxial network you had to set each coaxial

network, you need to give them a new network name.
