It's hard to answer your question, as you didn't ask one! However, if your device is "not compatible" with your OS, you need to upgrade the device, abandon it, or revert to an earlier OS. At present there seems to be no Win10 upgrade for your N220. It's possible ZyXEL could advise you when to expect this upgrade: use the contact information at https://www.contacthelp.com/ZyXEL/customer-service. Or to revert your OS, see https://www.groovypost.com/howto/downgrade-windows-10-previous-windows-version/.
Hope this is useful. Please don't forget to click the Accept This Answer button if you do accept it. My aim is to provide reliable helpful answers, not just a lot of them. See https://www.helpowl.com/profile/Odin.
