6.0.5 Setting Up a New Network with a New Adapter
This section shows you how to use your new powerline adapters to set up a new powerline
network separate to your existing network.
The figure below shows two powerline networks in a house. The first network (1) shows the
home computer connected to a printer and access to the Internet. The second network (2) has
no Internet access but with a media adapter such as the ZyXEL DMA-1100P you can use your
TV to watch movies and play games which are stored on a computer.

Section 6.0.5 on page 55. The screen shown below appears.

network. Make sure you use the same new Network Name for all new adapters you
want to add to your new network.
