    If you are using the Lion or Mountain Lion operating system on your Mac......

     

    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

    Click directly on the amber dot and another window will open with information about why the light is flashing amber

     

    If you are using the Leopard or Snow Leopard operating system on your Mac.....

     

    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

    Click on the Time Capsule, then click Manual Setup

    Click directly on the word Status (2nd line) and another window will open with information about why the light is flashing amber
