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 network in your home, for
example, in your study connecting a laptop and printer. See
Figure 41 on page 66

To set up your existing powerline network you had to set each powerline adapter
with the same network name. To move some of these adapters to a new network,
you need to give them a new network name.
