4.0.5 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.
