[SOLVED] PCie card flashing green on rear of tower.

[misskayleyboo]

Hello all, If anyone could advise me id be greatful, I travel for work and live in a big caravan, so i have to use my phones personal hotspot for my wifi when gaming on my pc. It was all going fine until recently its very laggy, i checked my PCie card and ive noticed its continuously flashing green on the rear of the tower, is this indicating that its struggling? im using a TL-WN881ND, (my phones internet is a very good with full bars of 3/4g) im not very tech savvy and i built the pc myself so if anyone could help tell me if this is normal or could it be that my card is broken? or could anyone advise what a better PCie card i could buy would be, thankyou
TIA.

What revision of the wifi card do you have they made two of the same. And personally I recommend the tp link archer t6e... it works really well, I would assume the flashing green light is it powering on and off failing to keep steady current or something because well I'm using mine right now it's a steady green light no flash... on 5g and 4g it is solid the moment it is searching for a signal to connect to and or as it is connect it will flash but other then that it is a solid light

I would assume you have the first launch because from what I'm seeing it's not supported by windows 10.... and if the drivers did install for it your probably using windows drivers not the proper ones and it's forcing to connect and dropping out...

Flashing green - slowly or quickly?
