tough to tell because there's more than 1 led on the device and you didn't give us much info.

If you go to netgear.com/support/   type in the model number. It'll take you to the support site with the manual that goes over what each led is and means.

it means the connection between the extender and a device connecting to the extender is poor.

It must be that. 

You can try moving it closer. At a certain point you'll start having issues connecting from the router to the extender though.

its kind of a balancing act
