MK83 defined as AP has orange light.

I have recently installed the nighthawk MK83 WiFi mesh.  The configuration I wanted was probably WAY out of the norm since I wanted the WiFi devices to have IP addresses on a Class A 10 net. This is mainly because I have a pretty darn good ASUS router already running, and it has a lot of configuration that would have to be transported, including DHCP reservations, VPN configuration, etc.  Well apparently, after spending a couple of hours on chat with Netgear support, that cannot be done.  I was about to box it back up and return it, but decided to get the user manual and go through it.  And there it was!  All I had to do was define the router piece as an access point.  Tadaaa.  Everything started running perfectly, and all of the problems I was having with my old system vanished. 
But now for the subject of this post.  All has been running great for a couple of weeks or more, and all three NightHawk devices, the MR80 and the two MS80s, all had blue lights on.  Now all of a sudden, after weeks of use, the MR80 piece has an orange light.

From what I can find out, the orange light means the router has no Internet access.  Well, since the MR80 isn't a router but is an Access Point, of course it has no Internet access because basically there is no router.  So is this a "normal" status, or does an orange light on an access point mean something different?  Since it is all still running perfectly, I assume the former.  And is there a way to make it blue?
