Connect one powerline adapter to a router or switch on the first Ethernet network and assign a 
Network Name (for example “Password1”) to this powerline adapter. Add additional powerline 
adapters to your network by plugging them into your powerline outlets and assigning them 
“Password1”. This completes the configuration of your first powerline network.
2
Connect another powerline adapter to a router or switch on the second Ethernet network and 
assign a different Network Name (for example “Password2”) to this powerline adapter. Again, add 
additional powerline adapters and assign them “Password2”.
You now have two private networks on your powerline circuit. Information is not shared between 
the two networks as only powerline adapters with the same Network Name can communicate with 
each other.
