Chapter 3: Overlapping Powerline Networks

It is possible to create multiple powerline networks on the same electrical system separated and grouped by different network names/security keys. The powerline networks will work and communicate independently of each other which can provide security between different groups of powerline adapters. For example, if you have five powerline adapters (Adapter A, Adapter B, Adapter C, Adapter D, Adapter E), you can group Adapters A,B, and C together on one powerline network and group Adapters D and E on a different powerline network. Each group will use a different network name/security key.

Note: It is recommended that only a maximum of up to 4 powerline networks can be created per electrical system. Any additional powerline networks above the recommended result in significant degradation in powerline performance.
