If it is always on from the very time you plugged it, that could just be the sign of a false contact between the compute module and its socket.
I will quote Flavor from this post : https://forum.freeplaytech.com/showthrea...45#pid8845
Quote:Remove the Raspberry Pi Compute Module from the circuit board. Look at the contacts where it inserts into the socket. See if you can tell anything odd. Maybe wipe it with isopropyl alcohol if you have some. Insert the Compute Module back into the Freeplay CM3. Does this change anything?

When I plug the dongle in, it will blink once and then the light turns off. It just stays steady. I don't think it's a false contact between the compute module and its socket. I accidentally bought 2 WiFi dongles and both of them do the same thing, and I get the same error for both of them so I don't think the dongles are faulty.
