Hi
I have an AirPort Express set ‘join a wireless network’, just so I can give the TV a wired internet connection.
Been running fine, but now a flashing amber light. There’s still an internet connection.
Looked on airport utility and there’s a message re No DNS server. What’s going on?
AirPort
No DNS server is a fancy way of saying that the Express does not have an Internet connection.
Power off the Express
Wait a minute
Power the Express back up
If no luck, power off your "main" Wi-Fi router
Power off the Express
Wait a minute
Power up the "main" Wi-Fi router
Wait another minute and then power up the AirPort Express
If still no luck, you will have to reset the Express back to factory default settings and then set it up again.

Turned it off and on again - back to a green light now
Thanks
Turning things off and then turning them back on will solve about half of all problems about half of the time.
