Description
The wireless-N USB adapter cannot link to any other wireless
node, or the link is lost. Check your configuration, or try
moving to a location where the wireless signal quality is better.
The wireless link is weak. Move to a better location, such as
closer to the router. Also, look for possible interference such
as a 2.4 GHz cordless phone or large metal surface.
Your adapter has established good communication with an
access point, and the signal quality is strong.
