Help, Amber light keeps flashing

Please help. I just purchased an airport express. I plugged it in just for use with my stereo. I already have a wireless router. Airport Utility was unable to recognize my airport. Is it broken or what is wrong. Please email to [email protected]

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
What if my base station is connected to a router?
If your base station is connected to a router or other network device that is using NAT to share a single Internet connection with multiple computers on your network, and you are using DHCP to provide private IP addresses, you need to turn off NAT and DHCP on the AirPort base station.
Most networks need only one device using NAT and DHCP to provide IP addresses.
To turn off NAT and DHCP:
Open AirPort Admin Utility, select your base station, and click Configure.
Click Network and deselect the "Distribute IP addresses" checkbox.
If your base station supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), by default the "Distribute IP addresses" checkbox is not selected, and the base station is not using NAT or DHCP.
With NAT and DHCP turned off, the base station acts as a simple bridge between the wired and wireless computers on the network.

  • I am connected to the internet, but the amber light keeps flashing. What is wrong?

    What is wrong with my Airport express when the amber light keeps flashing, even though I am connected to the internet?

    The AirPort Express has a message for you.
    To find out what it is......
    Open AirPort Utility, select the Express, click Manual Setup
    Click directly on the word Status (3rd line)
    A window will open with details about why the Express is complaining.

  • Amber Light keeps flashing - can't configure my AirPort Express

    Here is my setup: Dell XPS M1530 running Windows Vista. I have my cable modem directly plugged into my AirPort Express. I have no other wireless network or router.
    I'm able to connect to the AirPort Express through my wireless card and establish a connection and surf the net but the Airport Utility Software won't let me configure the device and the light keeps flashing amber. It never turns to green. I've tried every combination of resetting my AirPort Express, cable modem and computer.
    I can see the AirPort Express Base Station icon on the left hand side of the AirPort utility software , when I click "manual setup" or "continue" it try to detect a wireless device but it always comes back with a the message: "An error occurred while trying to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again. error -4"
    Am I missing something?

    Temporarily, disconnect the ethernet cable from the Express that is coming from the modem.
    Connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express, turn off wireless on the computer, and see if AirPort Utility can access the settings that way. If so, go ahead and set it up.
    If you are able to configure the device, then you will get an error message that you do not have an internet connection...because the Express is not connected to the modem.
    When you re-connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the Express and restart both the modem and Express, you should get the green light.
    Depending on the type of modem you have, some additional configuration may be needed. The important thing at this point is to get AirPort Utility to access the settings on the Express so that you can configure it.
    You may need to do the factory reset again on the Express. If AirPort Utility still cannot access the settings on the Express after this, try another computer, Mac if possible, to see if that might be the issue.
    Sometimes, an internal component fails within the Express. When this occurs, AirPort Utility cannot access the device no matter what, and there are really no other options except to replace the device.
    Please post back on your progress.

    I have disconnected the apple tv power source and router and modem several times and restarted but this does not resolve the issue. i also do not see the apple tv icon in my itunes nor do I see the devices list there under which it should be.

  • Amber lights keeps flashing

    I use SBC DSL with an Efficient Networks Speed Stream modem. When I connect the Airport Express Bast Station to the modem, the AEBS will not get the signal. When I plug my Belkin wirless router in to modem, it works fine. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Power everything down.
    Wait at least an hour.
    Try again.
    Do you need to register the MAC address of the router with SBC?

  • Actiontec GT701C DSL light keeps flashing please help

    I use to have the WIFI router from verizon but the wifi range was not strong enough for certain items in my home... in addition the items could not even find the network on wifi. i replaced it with a Actiontec GT701C so i could use my old wireless router that was strong enough to support my whole home .. But know when i connect my DSL line to the New modem the GT701c i can not access the internet .. i Could get to the configure screen but other than that the DSL Light keeps flashing any suggestions.. i have rebooted the modem and tryed diffrent phone line and phone jacks in my home please help !!!

    Does your older modem connect still? If so, could you tell us which modem it is so that we could help you obtain the Transceiver Statistics from it? It's possible the ActionTec could either be defective or it could be sensitive to noise on the line if the signal isn't the greatest.

  • Phone died and I put it on the charger and the red light keeps flashing.

    Phone died and I put it on the charger (wall charger) and the red light keeps flashing. It's been doing that for a little less than an hour, I pulled the batttery twice & get the same light flashing. I also read othe posts and it says to just let it charge for a few hours but i don't think it's gonna work. If you know anything about it let me know please & thank you.

    When connected to the charger, is the "no battery" symbol showing?
    Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

  • Blackberry LED light keeps flashing red

    Yesterday Vodacom Care gave me a new Q5 device - i had a Q5 for 2 months and the phone just went dead - so they replaced  it . Now  my Q5 LED light keeps flashing red and it's a NEW PHONE ??? - make it stop please !

    Hello,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Follow the steps below to try and bring the BlackBerry Q5 back to life:
    Ensure that BlackBerry Link is installed on the PC or Mac OS
    Ensure the computer has an internet connection.
    Launch the BlackBerry Link Software.
    Note: A backup of the BlackBerry device should be tried before a reload.
    Turn off the BlackBerry device. Make sure there are no flashing LEDs and that the LCD is not still being lit by the backlight. If there are any flashing LEDs, hold the power button for 15 seconds until the LEDs stop.
    Connect the BlackBerry device to the computer.
    When prompted with Cannot communicate with device, click Restore and then click yes allow the update to be downloaded and installed on the BlackBerry device.
    If the restore button is not seen press the vertical dots in the lower right corner of BlackBerry Link and select disconnected device.  Highlight the disconnected device you are working with and attempt steps 4 to 6 again.
    If the issue still persists, then I suggest contacting your network service provider for repair options. 
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Amber Light Keeps Blinking

    Amber light keeps blinking. I have been unable to set up wireless and never get a green light. Connection to internet works via cable to the Airport base station. I have done numerous resets and with power on off cycle per instructions on page 29. This is a brand new unit, arrived today, so it has never been working. I have hit the reset button both with power on and while powering up. Did a firmware update too. Still no luck. Is this a defective unit since it will not reset? I have also done complete resets with the DSL modem cycled off and back on, Base station off and brought back to power, and MacBook Pro cycled on and off too.
    Should I call the vendor and ask for a replacement?

    Hello popadave. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
    o The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
    o You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
    o One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
    (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
    If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation.
    Please post back what you find.

  • Officejet pro 8000 and the power and resume lights keep flashing

    I have an officejet pro 8000 and the power and resume lights keep flashing. I initially had the problem when I put a new black ink cartridge in. Lately there was an error message on the computer saying pump stall error, which then culminated in a print head error. I have replaced the print head at an extra £40 I have replaced all the ink cartridges which say they are low even though I haven't been printing. Basically spent the cost of the printer again  AND I STILL CANT PRINT! I'm using a Mac with snow leopard and I have reset the printer list and installed the new software and drivers. I have tried connecting with USB and Ethernet. I have filled up the paper. I have taken out the duplex and given it all a blow through. reset the print heads - basically everything the support web pages told me to do.
    I have to say this is the worse printer I have ever had from HP. I always buy HP because of the quality. I have to say I feel unless this problem is solved with out me spending more money on it I will have to buy something else - and not HP ever! oh and the warranty is out by less than 2 months!

    Welcome back burtf,
    I am sorry to hear about the issue you are having with your Officejet 8500 showing a message for you to turn the printer off and on. I would recommend following the guide below for this issue.
    I hope it helps!

  • Num lock light keeps flashing

    Hi,
    I have Lenovo 560 and since few days I am observing a strange problem.. The num lock on keypad keeps toggling itself and the num lock light keeps flashing.. ?i dnt know whats the problem is.. any body faced similar problem?
    please help.
    Thanks,

    I don't think it is serious enough to return it. I have problems with my num lock and caps lock keys also, but I think it is a problem with the PMU firmware. Quite a few people are having an issue, so I don't think it is a hardware problem.
    There are also people having other problems related to the PMU, such as the coloured lines at startup. I suspect we will see a firmware update at some point that can hopefully fix it.
    My advice would be try resetting your PRAM with command-option-p-r at startup (until you hear the second chime). Or resetting the PMU by turning off the 'book. disconnecting power and taking battery out, then pressing power button for 5 seconds. Then turn it all back on again and it should be ok.
    Stay away from 10.4.7 too, it's just trouble.

    I am having trouble setting up my time capsule.  the amber light is flashing.  i have a Verizon FIOS network that i use for the internet (WiFi) and do not want to configure the Time Capsule to do that function.  I just want the Time Capsule to back up.

    Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
    Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source List
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
