troubleshooting wifi cable

I used to unplug the wifi module and re-plug it back on all the time because it always gets disconnected from my router and thats how i get it to reconnect back to the wifi network. Now I m getting some weird behavior from the controller when i do the following:

Whenever I unplug the wifi module's cable from the wifi module itself while still having the cable connected to the controller from the other side, the controller's LCD and the red LED keep blinking repeatedly until I either reconnect the wifi module or disconnect the wifi cable from the controller. Does that mean the wifi cable has gone bad? could it be a short in the cable? I havent changed anything either in the code or in the hardware or the stuff connected to the outlets for a very long time and the controller has been working fine during this period.

Not sure about this one.
Does it work otherwise?

I mean, is it working when plugged?

Other than getting disconnected from the router every now and then it works fine with the wifi module while being plugged to the controller. It only blinks continuously when the cable is plugged to the controller and the wifi module is not, it didnt used to do so
