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

  • The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
  • You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
  • One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.


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
  • Click on the small amber dot there and another window will open to explain what the "issue" might be.
