Orange light blinking but network running OK?

[kingsleyflint]

just got home and found the orange light blinking on my airport, so I checked all connections and restarted. Router is OK, AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING. My internet connection and wifi are fine, but the airport keeps blinking orange. What does this signify? Does it mean that the airport will soon need replacing?

Hi,

Normally a blinking amber (orange) light means that there is some form of conflict - i.e. Double NAT, etc. that needs resolved using AirPort Utility.

Let us know what AirPort Utility is reporting and we can help you out.

I discovered the same situation in my Time Capsule this evening. I saw Cory Cooper's response, and turned on Airport Utility. It said I needed a firmware update. Did the update, and the status light is now normal (green)
