Congratulations. You now have two separate powerline networks as shown above.
If the HomePlug ( ) lights on both powerline devices do not light up, the powerline
devices are not connected. Repeat the connection process, making certain you press the
RESET/ENCRYPT buttons for the correct time and within two minutes of each other. If that
does not work see Section 6.5 on page 45 for suggestions.
