bandwidth over Powerline. Indeed you will be able to go about twice the distance
from the Gateway to Modem 1. For example, if the max Layer 2 bandwidth between
the Gateway and Modem 1 is 40 Mbps, then the max usable Layer 2 bandwidth
between Gateway 1 and Modem 2 will be about 20 Mbps.

Figure 52 VLAN Configuration (Modem)
If the Gateway is set up for VLAN pass-through, Modems can now be configured for VLAN pass-
through by entering the VPID (VLAN Pass-Through ID) for the Modem. Ethernet packets from
devices connected to the Modem will be sent to the LAN port of the Gateway and tagged with the
Modem’s PLC (Powerline) MAC address (1a:00:3e:b0:19:17 ). Depending on whether the
