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 ENCRYPT buttons for the correct time and within two minutes of each other. If that does not work see Section 7.5 on page 68 for suggestions.
