Airport time capsule router

A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the these potential conditions may require your attention:

1. The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or it has been reset.
2. You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
3. A new firmware update is available for the base station.
4. One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.

• If your base station's light is flashing - Apple Support

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. Note: Status only appears if there is an issue or notification.
• Click on the small amber dot there and another window will open to explain what the "issue" might be.

You're very welcome. I'm glad you got it worked out.
