Lan adapter for Wii U

Hi I've bought a 2.0 Lan adapter for Wii U on ebay from China and when I play online on super smash 4 I'm not sure it reduces lag and the wifi light flashes at the same time of the internet light when the wii u loads (no other devices uses wifi in my house) which means the wii u uses either both wifi and ethernet or only wifi)

Could anyone tell my if this is normal? Has anyone had a Lan adapter and could tell me if the same thing happens to them, both light flashing?

Thank you
E

Generally on the lan the wiiu should stick to it and not switch to wifi from what I can recall.

Mine when the lan disconnects it just stops completely from using the internet.

My LAN adapter has a blue light on it that lets me know the Wii U is using it to connect to the internet.

E Eldramatico - Did you go in to the Wii U options and set up a wired connection? You might also want to delete your wireless configuration to make sure your Wii U uses the LAN adapter to connect to your router.
