Reinsert ZEW1505/ZEW1605/ZEW1605A into your PC’s PCI /Cardbus slot.
Right click on My Computer and select Properties. Select the device manager and click on
the Network Adapter. You will find the Adapter if it is installed successfully. If you see the

Adapter. If there is a yellow question mark, please check the following:
Make sure that your PC has a free IRQ (Interrupt ReQuest, a hardware interrupt on a PC.)
Make sure that you have inserted the right adapter and installed the proper driver. If the
Adapter does not function after attempting the above steps, remove the adapter and do the
following:
Uninstall the driver software from your PC.
Restart your PC and repeat the hardware and software installation as specified in this User
Manual.
2. I cannot communicate with the other computers linked via Ethernet in the
Infrastructure configuration.
Make sure that the PC to which ZEW1505/ZEW1605/ZEW1605A is associated is powered
on.

3. What should I do when the computer with ZEW1505/ZEW1605/ZEW1605A
installed is unable to connect to the wireless network and/or the Internet?

that the AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected.
Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings are correctly entered
