Check Device Manager: - Open Device Manager by right-clicking on "Computer" or "This PC," selecting "Manage," then clicking on "Device Manager" in the left pane. - Look for any entries with a yellow exclamation mark, which indicates a problem with the driver installation. 2. Uninstall the Current Driver: - In the Device Manager, locate the EW-7612UAn device, right-click on it, and select "Uninstall." - Make sure to check the box that says "Delete the driver software for this device" if available. - After uninstalling, unplug the EW-7612UAn device and restart your computer. 3.
