If the modem light is blinking it means that there is activity, so this is normal.

However, the globe/internet light needs to be solid green. If it is blinking it means it is attempting to connect to the internet.

Make sure first that the internet connection is working when directly connected to the modem. If yes, then the router might not be configured properly. To check the configuration on the router, access the setup page by using a web browser. Type 192.168.2.1 in the address bar.

By default the password should be left empty.

Once in the setup page of the router, go to Internet WAN. Select the connection that your ISP is using. Either, PPPOE (requires a username and password from ISP) or Dynamic, (the settings are obtained automatically from the ISP). If you are not sure, contact your ISP.

I hope this helps!

SOURCE: Blinking amber light on modem icon

that means there is usually a problem with your modem. you know how to hook up a router, right? usually you unplug power from both devices, plug in your modem and let it load, then plug in your router. (with some isp's id will work the other way around.

If you don't have a PPoE password from your ISP, then just connect the ISP modem to the main port on the router. Then connect a PC with a network cable. This should work, if not try connecting the modem directly to the PC to test.
If you get internet with just the modem, then try resetting the router.

Airpot Extreme blinks orange when connected, tried all the restarts, waiting, sequenced power downs and ups, still no luck. reckon its a switch from n to g, reckon it might be a dodgy express..anyone got...

British only say dodgy. so bingo for UK?
reckon is only said by us confederates, rebels.lol well the Arris (SB5101U) moldem is first , its LED happy./

SOUNDS LIKE IT IS BAD DO ME, IF MODEM WORKS
AND ROUTER FAILS THEN ROUTERS IS BAD.
But any router made can be not configured at all.
as in hard reset and fails. so reDO alo that. in the Airport router
AirPort extreme
Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11ac User Manual lets read some pages router
wan jack wired to wan jack on modem, check
the AP status LED light
off means no power.
sold amber means AP is process of starting up;.


SOLD GREEN LED: is good
Flashing Amber (orange/) means.
Your AirPort Extreme can't establish a connection to the network or the Internet,
or is encountering a problem. Use AirPort Utility to get information about what
might cause the status light to flash amber. See "If Your AirPort Extreme Status
Light Flashes Amber" on page 18.


the error above amber blink means the AP can not connect to the ARRIS MODEM. so reset it first. reset it by only unpluging AC power from wall for 5min and put back and wait 15min or until modem shows fully connected, to ISP./
the router is last not first. ISP not down today.
if the modem keeps failing call the ISP..
one can wire connect a PC directly tot the modem and test that way
but I will show a page on that now.

https://red-dot-geek.com/connect-pc-modem-ethernet-cable/


now you learned how to test the modem first and then router.
wired
once wired works both modem and router
we play WIFI H3LL all day long, ask. can do but endless causes to fail, in truth.
