When connected, the indicator flashes quickly (LED lights up green). The connection was lost once, but it is relatively far from the access point and between the wall. Overall, I would rate the…

Worked great at first. However, after less than a year, the adapter began to fail. The desktop I used it with frequently lost internet connection (but not connection to my wireless router).
