now joined your existing network.

refrigerator in the kitchen.
7 Plug the adapter’s power cord into a power outlet and, if required, switch the power outlet on.

new powerline network.
5.5 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.
