Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11n (1st Generation) - Manual (Page 26)

26 Chapter 4 Tips and Troubleshooting
If your base station is still not responding, try the following:
1 Unplug AirPort Extreme.
2 Use the end of a straightened paper clip to press and hold the reset button while you
plug in AirPort Extreme.
Your AirPort Extreme Status Light Flashes Amber
The Ethernet cable may not be connected properly, AirPort Extreme may be out of
range of an AirPort network, or there may be a problem with your Internet service
provider. If you are connected to the Internet with a DSL or cable modem, the modem
may have lost its connection to the network or the Internet. Even if the modem seems
to be working properly, try disconnecting the modem from its power supply, waiting a
few seconds, and then reconnecting it. Make sure AirPort Extreme is connected directly
to the modem via Ethernet before reconnecting power to the modem.
For more information about the reason the light flashes, open AirPort Utility, select
your base station, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. The
information about the flashing light is displayed on the Summary pane.
Your Printer Isn’t Responding
If you connected a printer to the USB port on AirPort Extreme and the computers on
the AirPort network can’t print, try doing the following:
1 Make sure the printer is plugged in and turned on.
2 Make sure the cables are securely connected to the printer and to the AirPort Extreme
USB port.
