Important: Use only the AC adapter that came with your AirPort Extreme.

When you plug the AirPort Extreme AC adapter into a power outlet, the status light flashes green for one second, and then glows amber while it starts up. After it has started up completely, the status light flashes amber until your AirPort Extreme has been updated with the correct settings. The status light glows solid green after your AirPort Extreme is properly set up and connected to the Internet or a network.
