Hi - I saw that no one answered your question and although I don't have a TC, I like to learn - so I did some research (the search box on this forum and Google) and iCPW seems to mean "incorrect password" - it may be that the TC or AU is picking up a password problem somewhere in your system - it could be a changed Apple ID or iCloud issue or ????? - so you have to do some detective work and track it down - other posts have referred to these things - the common thread was that if the firmware was updated and the latest AU was used, the error was indentified more accurately - in one case the person changed their Apple ID and the error went away - anyway, I hope some of this is helpful.

iCPW means iCloud Password, not incorrect password. The problem arises when the password has been changed and the base station has the latest firmware. Apple in their infinite wisdom took away the mobile me settings, so the password cannot be changed in the AP. Downgrade to 7.6, change the password for mobile me and presto, green light again.
