Excellent kit, awful instructions
Took ages to get the correct values configured because the KLG-575 is being used simply as a wireless access point on an existing 192.168.0.xxx network. The manual is terse in the extreme and assumes you are going to use the device as a router -- and therefore providing DHCP services to the network.
The Web-based interface is good -- but the field descriptions are confusing: I fell into the trap of enabling DHCP (so that the existing DHCP server on the network would give the KLG-575 an appropriate IP address) but ended up allowing the KLG-575 itself to act as a DHCP server (with serious network conflicts). Without good documentation, a simple radio button to allow DHCP does not tell you whether it's on the receiving end (get an IP address automatically) or the giving end. Tech support did the trick though.
Installtion of the KLG-520 PCMCIA card was a breeze by comparison. Results for network bandwidth were around 34MB/sec at some distance. Not bad at all!
