![]() At least one of the next two steps will probably fix it I got really familiar with that flashing amber light. The problem I encountered was this: no matter how many times I reset or hard-reset the plug and entered all the correct information (that I wanted to use it for AirTunes a custom name for the plug, and a password and my existing wifi network and password) and Airport Utility updated the device and let it restart, it would not be able to connect to my network and would become inaccessible via the Utility again, requiring another reset. I ignored the first as I intended to run on a wireless network, not cabled. I had two: it couldn’t detect an ethernet cable, and it was running on Default Settings which needed to be changed. It shows a yellow dot on the Summary screen and clicking that reveals any errors. Release the button and the AE plug should restart in due course, and eventually become visible in Airport Utility 5.6. I’ve read it should be amber and flash rapidly, but mine was green and flashed more slowly. While still holding that down, plug it back in, and keep that button held down until the AE plug flashes a light at you. This is achieved by unplugging it and pushing down on the tiny grey button visible underneath the plug where all the sockets are, using the tip of a pen or paperclip. Problem: I couldn’t get Airport Utility 5.6 to see the plug. Turns out it means there are error messages waiting to be reviewed, and the only way you can review them is to get the Admin page for the plug up in Airport Utility 5.6. ![]() What I had was a blinking amber light and no idea what it meant.
