@bubbasnmp is correct.

This packet is, as Wireshark says, an "ARP announcement"; it is sent out by the ZyxelCom device to announce that it has the IP address 192.168.1.254.

This IP adress is of my computer , PC, I need to Know the ZyXEL IP adress as I can communicate with him. The repport : Source: ZyxelCom_44:f4:94 (00:a0:c5:44:f4:94) does give me any information about the IP i am lookin for !

Bests regards Richard

If that IP address is somehow assigned to the network interface of your computer than you'll have to change that to something else in order to communicate with the ZyxelCom device, because it announced it uses it as its IP address.

This IP adress is of my computer , PC, I need to Know the ZyXEL IP adress as I can communicate with him.

And it's also the IP address of the ZyXEL, according to the packet that the ZyXEL device sent out, which is probably the cause of the problem you're presumably trying to solve by connecting to the ZyXEL device. :-)

Don't assume it's impossible to have more than one device on a network with the same IP address. Devices can be misconfigured if they've been manually configured. It's obviously not correct to have more than one device on a network with the same IP address (unless there's some flavor of load balancing), but "not correct" and "technically impossible" aren't the same thing.
