¾ To create a secure network:
1. Plug in your new adapters.

3. Press the Security/Factory Reset button on one of the adapters for
two seconds, and then press the Security/Factory Reset button on
one of the other adapters in your existing network for two seconds.

secure adapters and one of the adapters that is not yet secured.
