The adapter joins the network, which can take a few minutes. Your settings are

Check Your Connection Status
When you install your adapter, the adapter connection icon displays in the
Windows system tray, Windows desktop, or Mac menu bar. You can double-click
this icon to open the adapter software to make changes or connect to a different
wireless network. The color of the icon indicates the strength of your wireless
connection:
White. 3–5 bars (strong connection)
Yellow. 1–2 bars (weak connection)
Red. 0 (zero) bars (no connection)
If you remove your adapter, the adapter software is not available, so the icon does
not display. When you insert the adapter again, the icon returns.
