Why is the Push 'N' Connect (WPS) push-button blinking amber on my NETGEAR Wireless Router?

  The Push 'N' Connect (WPS) push-button might be blinking amber because you are using the router’s built-in registrar instead of the push-button. It could also mean that PIN verification has not succeeded for the WPS-enabled device you are connecting to the router, or that you pushed the push-button after disabling the WPS function. Another reason can be that the router is in the temporary AP setup locked state.

  The Internet light might be amber on your NETGEAR Wireless Router because the Internet is not accessible. To solve this, confirm that you have the correct internet setting. Alternatively, you can clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults, which will set the router’s IP address to www.routerlogin.net. You can also try turning the power off and back on to see if the router recovers.
