Single GFCI to 2 GFCIs
Hi Experts,
I have a single GFCI in my unfinished basement that's protecting the outdoor amp post as well as the outlets in the master bath.
I want to rewire such that the existing gfci controls only the exterior lamp post and a new gfci protects the outlets upstairs.
I understand the basics of a gfci outlet. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

Do you know the point where the upstairs receptacles join that GFI circuit ?
You'd need to removed the upstairs bathroom from the load side of the GFI to the line side.
Technically the upstairs bathroom should be on its own circuit.

Yes I do. So I just remove the load side and reconnect it to the line side right?
And then I can replace the existing receptacle with Gfci in the bathroom?

You have not mentioned source of your bathroom light but most recommend it not be on the load side of the GFCI so you don't loose the light if the GFCI tripped.
