AE won't stop flashing "amber"

My Airport Extreme won't stop flashing amber and it is no longer broadcasting its wireless network, which is bad news for me. All of the wired Ethernet router features are still working, as the device is attached to my cable modem and all network devices (i.e. my Mac Pro, BD player, DirecTV receiver) attached to the Airport Extreme via Ethernet are seeing the internet and working, but wireless is dead. Airport Utility cannot find the device, so I can't even do a manual setup, because that option is grayed out. I've tried restarting the unit several times, but to no avail -- it just restarts and begins flashing the amber light. What should I do? Is my AE's wireless functionality dead?

No clue why its doing it, maybe some corrupt settings?
But if you want to fix it, I would recommend doing a factory reset. To do that press and hold the reset button on the back for 10-15 seconds, until the light stats flashing very fast, then let go of the reset button and let the airport reboot.
That should fix your problems, only downside is that you'll have to set it all up again since after a factory reset all your settings get wiped out.

  • LED won't stop flashing, even when there are no new notifications

    The LED on my BlackBerry won't stop flashing, and I can't work out why. I have no new emails, messages, Facebook notifications, Twitter mentions, appointments/calendar events, and the LED didn't flash for new articles in the TIME magazine app any way. None of the other apps have anything to notify me of either.
    I updated the OS some time ago, so I can't see that being the cause for the problem, which means I can not work out why the LED is still flashing, unless my BlackBerry is broken.
    Has anybody else had this problem?

    Hi danphynes,
    Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, what color is the LED? Can you verify that the LED coverage indicator is disabled in Options -> Screen/Keyboard? Is the LED flashing red continually or does it stop for periods of time?

  • Hello I have 2 seperate airport express systems on my network, each connecting to a stereo in a different room.  suddenly, the one in the living room will not stop flashing amber, but the one in the bedroom works fine.  I have already tried resetting it

    Hello
    I have 2 seperate airport express systems on my network, each connecting to a stereo in a different room. suddenly, the one in the living room will not stop flashing amber, but the one in the bedroom works fine. I have already tried resetting it with a pin, resetting it while plugging it in, and trying to find it in airport express setup (the setup assistant can't find it at all).
    What am i doing wrong?

    How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
    To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    Launch the AirPort Utility.
    Select the AX.
    If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
    Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
    Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
    Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
    Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
    Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
    Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

  • Airport Express will not stop flashing amber light; Reset multiple times; Works for a second with green light and then resumes flashing amber

    I bought an Airport Express to extend my Airport Extreme about a month ago. It worked great until 2 weeks ago it started flashing amber. I reset it and set it up via airport utility and it would work for a little while, with great connection, and then it resumes the flashing amber light. Here is the error message:
    "This AirPort base station was unable to extend the wireless network. Make sure the wireless network you're trying to extend was set up and is working correctly, that you entered a matching wireless network password into this device, and that this device is in range of the wireless network."
    The Airport Extreme is in working condition, in range, and entered in correctly. I do not understand how it can work great for a second and then stop.
    Thanks!

    Power off both the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express
    Wait a few minutes
    Power up the AirPort Extreme, and let it run a few minutes
    Then, power up the AirPort Express
    If you continue to have difficulty, ask Apple to replace the AirPort Express.

  • How do i get my apple router to stop flashing amber

    I have a TWC Arris modem (TG Model)...I get great wifi speeds...
    However, my apple router is flashing amber, and status is "Double NAT"
    I want it to turn green and interact with the modem.
    How do i do this?

    Open the same AirPort Utility application and click on the icon of the Apple router, just like you do to see the "Status" of Double NAT.
    Click on the Edit button in the window
    Click on the Network tab at the top of the next window
    Change the setting for Router Mode from the current DHCP and NAT to read "Off (Bridge Mode)"
    Click the Update button at the lower right of the window, and the Apple router will restart, first with a solid amber light, then blinking amber, and if the planets are in the correct alignment, a green light will appear.

  • AS 3.0 - Button Won't Stop Flashing in SWF Preview

    I'm in the process of switching from AS 2.0 to AS 3.0, so apologies if this is really obvious....
    I am modifying/updating an old template for a client and am inserting customized navigation buttons. One is a play/pause button and I was able to swap the old buttons for the new in the library and show them on the stage with no problems. When I export to swf to preview the movie, the new button just flashes repeatedly between the different "play" and "pause" states (up, over, etc).
    I checked to make sure I didn't change any names of the buttons or movie clips.  I tried inserting stop(); but it doesn't work...probably because I'm not putting it in the right spot.  When I select the button, it has "up, over, down, hit" in the Timeline and says the selection can't have any actions applied to it.
    Advice? I hope this is a very simple oversight on my part!
    I am using CS4 and AS 3.0.

    I found the problem.  I had converted some buttons into graphics so that when I stop on the intended keyframe the over/down highlight would remain constant.
    But I did't change the default loop setting to single frame - so it was looping through all the states.  Ultimately I ended up using movie clips as buttons and using code to keep them in state I want.

  • HT4367 just bought an apple tv and updated it and now the light won't stop flashing... even after i tried to restore via itunes and all i got was a unknown error message... hey apple you guys have a fix for this?

    I just got an apple tv and it dosen't work at all. I tried to use the home share feature with my iMac and both devices don't see each other, yet they are o the same network. I am not using a apple router. I tried updating the apple tv to see if that would resolve the issue but now the status light just blinks rapidly. I tried using itunes restore it but all i get is an unknown error. So with all of this said what is the fix apple?

  • I hard re-set my airport extreme, and now it won't come back. Keeps flashing amber for ever!!! help

    I forgot my network password, so I attempted to hard set my aiport extreme. Now I can not get it to come back to green. Won't stop flashing amber. Have tried to re-set and un-plug several times to see if I can bring it back and no luck. Anybody have any suggesions?

    Sometimes you just have to perform the reset multiple times to get it to "stick." If after multple attempts, it still does not reset properly, it may be possible that your AirPort has failed.

  • I have a Time Capsule and it is flashing amber.  The airport utility says that there are no DNS servers.  How do i fix this?

    Have you configured the wireless on the Time Capsule? Do you have the wireless port enabled on the computer? Are you connected to the wireless network of the Time Capsule?
    In Airport Utility using the Wireless panel here's what it looks like on my AEBS:
    In your Network preferences you should see:
    There should be a valid IP address for IPv4 that should begin with 10.0.1.

  • Airport express not working (flashing amber light)

    I just bought an airport express and have spent days trying to set it up with my Cable modem. I use Time Warners roadrunner as my service provider and know that the cable modem is not the problem because the internet works fine when I hook my mac laptop directly up to the modem via ethernet cable. Originally when I first plugged in the airport express base station I only received the flashing amber light. I have tried unplugging the modem and plugging it back in multiple times, but I continuously get the flashing amber light on the airport base station. My modem however recognizes the airport and is flashing the light that signals that it is linked to a computer.
    My computer recognizes the airport, I get a strong signal and the airport utility says that everything is ok but the light on the base station flashes amber and the Internet wont work. Originally I had it set to Connect Using: Ethernet and Configure TCP/IP: DHCP and the light flashed amber so I started messing around with the settings. I changed it to Configure TCP/IP: PPPoE but was not sure what my login and password would be so I used my account information for roadrunner and to my surprise the light stopped flashing amber and turned green. I thought my problem was miraculously solved but the Internet still wouldn’t work, it kept trying to connect to the PPOE server with no luck. I had never expected the wireless to work under the PPOE setting so I was very surprised that the light turned green rather than amber. This is very confusing to me so I put the configure setting back to Ethernet rather than PPPoE and the light started flashing amber again. I have put the airport back to its default settings many times and tried starting over, but I still get the amber light.
    I have run out of things to try and do not know a whole lot about wireless Internet so any help would be useful. I know of other people that have set up their airport express with very little hassle and knowledge of computers, so I thought this was going to be an easy process, apparently I was very wrong.

    Roadrunner's cable internet service uses DHCP and not PPPoE - so the first thing you need to do is change that configuration back to DHCP on your Airport Express.
    Then unplug both the cable modem and Airport Express from power for a while - the longer the better. Try five minutes, and if that doesn't work then try all day or overnight. After you get tired waiting, plug the modem back into power and wait a minute. Then plug the Airport Express into power - and hopefully by now Roadrunner's connection will have been reset and the Airport Express will be able to establish a connection, get an IP address, and show you the solid green status light.

  • My apple TV has stopped working completely.  Just a flashing Amber light

    My Apple TV has stopped working.  When it is turned on I just get a flashing amber light and it does not turn blue as normal.  It doesn't connect wirelessly to my Mac and it doesn't connect to the TV.  I do not get the setup menu and it is totally unresponsive to the remote control.  I have tried connecting it directly to my Mac but this also does nothing.  I am at a loss as to what to do next.  I have a lot of films and music stored on it and I am worried that I have lost it all.  I am not sure which generation it is, but it is the silver one, model number A1218.  Can anyone help?

    Unfortunately, it sounds as though your Apple TV 1 has failed. Unlike the later Apple TVs, you cannot connect it to iTunes to restore it.

  • I have an Airport Extreme, it's only flashing amber and won't go solid green. I use my ipad 2 to try and setup the Airport and I keep getting "an unexpected error occured, try again."

    I have an Airport Extreme, the light is only flashing amber and won't go solid green. I use my ipad 2 to try and setup the Airport and I keep getting "an unexpected error occured, try again." I've tried my iphone 4 with the same result. I've tried the utilty on my pc and same result. The airport is producing a great wireless signal and working to all devices. I really just want to get in and set the password.

    When you did those resets, did you continue to hold in the reset button until the status light blinked several times?  If you didn't, then you didn't do a full reset.
    Here's what I do to reset an AirPort base station:  I unplug it, press in the reset button, then, while continuing to hold in the reset button, I plug it in.  (Yes, doing this can be easier for people with more than two hands!)  I then watch the status light and wait until it flashes rapidly several times.
    I have a Time Capsule that I couldn't configure at one point.  To recover from that I had to unplug it for many hours.  You might try unplugging your unit overnight.

  • Flash won't stop looping

    I have imported a 4 second SWF into Captivate 4. I want it to play through once then stop on the last frame of the SWF. The SWF has a stop embedded on the last frame. The problem is; it won't stop, but keeps on looping right through the SWF stop. I tried placing a 'Next' button with a "Pause after n seconds" on it and used varying intervals from 1 to 5 seconds for the pause to take effect but, you guessed it, the SWF just keeps on a-rolling along. The screen does stay put and does not continue until the 'Next' button is clicked - but I'm trying to get the SWF to play nice, and it won't!
    It seems to be the opposite problem to this post > http://forums.adobe.com/thread/607598 where they want to keep it looping, but it stops instead. Unfortunately there's no answer in this post so I can't reverse engineer a solution!
    Caviat: A colleague created the swf to my spec and I'm assuming they did in fact put the stop where requested. Will post an update if they did not do this.

    Your mismatched timing might be due to the frame rate of the Flash SWF not matching the frame rate of the Captivate movie.
    Check with your Flash developer again to find out what the frame rate was (e.g. 30 frames per second).  Get him to match it to the Captivate project.
    The issue with Flash animations needing to be on the main timeline has been documented before in these forums.  It wasn't an issue in Cp4 but has become so in Cp5 because the new architecture actually loads all the animations at the beginning of the movie. This means that by the time you reach the slide where you want the animation to play, it's already played long before.  This only affects SWF animation that have buried the animation inside a symbol, which is what Flash developers often do to make it all easier to resize and reposition as needed.  When the animation is happening one level down from the main timeline, you can trigger this animation to work properly in Captivate 5 by using some ActionScript in the Flash animation's main timeline.  Here's how:
    Create your animation as a symbol on a single keyframe so that the animation happens on the level one level down from the main timeline.
    Give the animation symbol an instance name (e.g. Fred).
    Add a new layer to the main timeline for ActionScript.  You're only going to need two frames on the main timeline with keyframes on each one.
    Put a stop(); action on the second frame so that it stops the main timeline.
    On the first keyframe put this code or similar: Fred.gotoAndPlay(1);
    What happens here is that when the Captivate SWF loads it will load your animation and start playing it but it will be stopped at the second frame of the main timeline.  When it gets to the slide where you want it to play, it will begin playing again, hit the first frame and then the AS code there will tell the Fred animation to play from its first frame. Hopefully there will be a stop action on its own timeline to terminate it as well.
    I've had to use this trick several times when trying to use the Right_Mark and Wrong_Mark tick and cross SWF animations that come with Captivate 5.  They've obviously not been updated to work properly since the change from Cp4.
    Hope this helps.
