It can mean any number of things.


Assuming that you are using the OS X 10.6.x operating system on your Mac:


Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

Click on the AirPort Extreme, then click Manual Setup

Click directly on the word Status (2nd line on the summary page)


A window will open to explain why the amber light is flashing, along with suggested actions(s)


If you are using Lion or Mountain Lion:


Open AirPort Utility as above

Click directly on the AirPort icon

Look for Status

Click on the amber dot
