Power Light staying on Orange when I plug in for the first time.
I have just purchased a new WN2500RP. I have plugged it in. There are no other connections apart from the power. The orange light hasn't turned green. I have left the device for 10 minutes and tried it in 4 different power outlets. The 1 to 4 LAN indicator lights flash once intermittently once every 2 minutes or so. However, the power light never goes green. Any ideas anyone?

- Clearly this forum isn't very active, but I'm having this problem too. Any solutions? Feeling pretty stupid if I just blew 100 bucks on a shiny paperweight!
- I'm having the same problem, but it started for me after the unit was unplugged and plugged back in. I've tried to factory reset and the power light still stays amber and the port lights flash green once every few minutes.
- No one responded to my question either. At least mine works mostly. Did you guys with the orange light issue hook everything up right?
- I went through WPS as a test, and it set up just fine. My issue occurred when the unit was unplugged and then plugged back in. Never got the opportunity to do more setup on the second go-round, as it went immediately to Amber. Power off/on and factory reset didn't solve it either. Guess I'll be returning it for a product swap unless someone else has any ideas.
- I've got exactly the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
Dave. - I got the the same issue. Just reset the extender back to factory settings and then the power light stayed in orange/amber.
The netgear customer support works only within 90 days. - I am going to have a try to upgrade firmware.
Is there an instruction to do that? - As I said the light is in orange when I powered it on. The reset button seem not work.
I suggest you create a ticket for support.
