    Nothing is wrong , the user can easily browse and  the base station is joined , but wireless network password is not saved , if the user leaves it anyone can join , so for security purpose password should be always saved .

      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.
    • A new firmware update is available for the base station.
    • One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.

    (ref: AirPort base stations: About AirPort base station status lights (LED))

     

    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. Note: Status only appears if there is an issue or notification.
    • Click on the small amber dot there and another window will open to explain what the "issue" might be.
