The model is here ( http://www.asus.com/Networking/PCEAC66/ )

The blue light that is at the back used to flash repeatedly indicating that it was connected to the network, but now it just stays on and is not showing in my device manager. What has happened?

Not showing in Device Manager usually means that particular device has developed a fault to the extent that the host computer can no longer detect it.

You could try re-seating the card, it may just be a bad connection between the card's edge-connectors and the contacts in the PCI slot.

I have already done that, I moved all my cards around just to move that one to a separate slot and the results were no better. I have no idea how to fix this, I doubt the device is faulty after only 2 months of use.
