I will assume that it is impractial for you to use wireless access cards, and a wireless access point rather than another router.

CRTBNDRPG defaults
I think it uses print file QSYS/QSYSPRT. Unfortunately, so does a lot of other stuff. Depending on whether you’re willing to change this for everything relying on QSYSPRT for output, you might consider creating your own command that internally does OVRPRTF FILE(QSYSPRT) PAGESIZE(something new) before invoking CRTBNDRPG. Hope that helps.

Splitting One Domain Into Two
umm, not sure how to approach this. It seems you are mistaking subnets with domain boundries. This is not true. There is no need to create a new domain becuase you are spliting out your network.
