Q: Why does updating/restart require unplugging?
I have the "new" Airport Time Capsule and it is working perfectly. However, after it has been in operation for an extended period, such as a few weeks or months and I try to make changes such as adding IP reservations, when it goes to "update" it hangs with the amber light on. If I unplug it and then replug it in it boots normally, the changes are there and it is perfectly fine again. And, if I make similar changes right after plugging it back in the updates/restarts without my having to unplug it.
Anyone know why it is hanging up upon changes after it's been operating for a while?
Thanks.

Solid amber light means the AP is booting.

Changing configuration requires AP to reboot - restart the system under new configuration.
How long is your AP with amber light?
