Installation Instructions
This chapter provides simple instructions for installing the
Wireless-N USB adapter on a Windows PC (for Windows 7, Vista,
XP, and 2000). If you have already installed the adapter on a
computer (by using the separate Quick Start guide, for instance),
you can skip this chapter. If you have a Mac, please go to Chapter 4
on page 35.
Before You Begin
If you want to install the Wireless-N USB adapter on a Windows
PC, your PC needs the following:
•Available USB port
•Windows 7, Vista, XP, or
2000
•CD or DVD drive
•6 MB of free hard drive
space
Installing and Connecting the Adapter
on a Windows PC
Important: Do not plug the Adapter into your computer yet. We
will tell you when to plug it in.
1Insert the Wireless-N USB CD into the CD or DVD drive. The
CD should start automatically.
For Windows Vista and Windows 7 only:
If the AutoPlay dialog box appears, click Run Setup.exe.
If a message appears saying An unidentified program
wants access to your computer or Do you want to allow
the following program from an unknown publisher to make
changes to this computer?, click Allow or Yes.
2On the next screen, select Install.
3A Zoom Wireless-N USB Setup screen is displayed for a few
seconds while the installation proceeds.

4On the InstallShield Wizard Complete screen, click Finish
and remove the CD.
5Plug the USB Adapter into one of the available USB slots on
your computer. (If it is difficult to insert the USB Adapter
directly into the USB slot because there isn’t enough space
near the slot, first plug the USB Adapter into the extension
cable included in the package and then plug the other end of
the extension cable into the USB slot in your computer. Since
the extension cable is semi-rigid, you can twist the extension
cable to orient the USB Adapter for best reception. Usually a
vertical orientation is best.)
To connect to a network
Now you are ready to connect to a network. Wireless networks
typically have a wireless access point, router, or gateway at the
heart of the wireless network. Wireless networks sometimes use
wireless security and sometimes do not. What you do next
depends on your network’s wireless security. You have several
options:
1If your access point or router supports WPS, we highly
recommend that you connect to a network using WPS.
See WiFi™ Protected Setup (WPS) on page 12.

Chapter 1: Installation Instructions
2If your access point or router does not support WPS or you
prefer not to connect this way, you can connect to a
network without security as described below.
3If you decide that you want to join a wireless network that
has security, scroll down to Section 2: Setting Security
and follow the instructions.
To connect to a network without
security
1Double-click the Zoom icon on your taskbar to open the
configuration software.
2In the Zoom Wireless-N USB Network window, look through
the list of available wireless networks and highlight the
network you want, and then click Connect.

3If you join a wireless network that does not have security,
you should now be connected. To check your connection,
open your Web browser and go to your favorite site.
If the network you select has security configured, you
must enable and configure security on your Zoom Wireless-
N USB Adapter before you can connect. See Chapter 2,
Setting Security.
We highly recommend security. Chapter 2, Setting Security on
page 10 has descriptions of the available security options and
setup instructions.
If you have difficulty accessing the Internet, follow the
suggestions in the Troubleshooting section in Appendix B at the
end of this User Manual.
The Adapter LED
The state of the LED on the Wireless-N USB adapter is

Setting Security
We strongly recommend security, although you do not need to
use it to get your wireless connection working.
Important! You must first enable security on the wireless access
point or router. You then enable security on the adapter using
the same configuration that you used for the access point or
router. For example, if the wireless access point or router is
configured for WEP, you must select WEP security in the
Wireless-N USB configuration software and enter the same
encryption key.
Accessing security options
1On your taskbar, double-click the Zoom Wireless-N USB
icon to open the Zoom Wireless-N USB configuration
software.
2Make sure that the desired wireless network is displayed in
the Profile and SSID text boxes (the term <Infra>
designates an Infrastructure network) and that the Network
Type is correct.
There are two types of wireless networks: Infrastructure and
Ad Hoc.
•In an Infrastructure network, wireless devices
communicate with each other via a wireless access
point, router, or ADSL modem with built-in wireless
technology.
•In an Ad Hoc network, a group of wireless devices
communicate directly with other “client” devices that are
using wireless adapters. The network does not include a
wireless access point or wireless router.
