A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
- The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
- You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
- One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
To find out why your base station's status LED is flashing amber:
- Open AirPort Utility
- Click on the AirPort base station
- Look for a Status setting in the small window that appears
- Click on the small amber dot there and another window will open to explain what the "issue" might be.
