D-Link Extender: Orange Light Blinking Problem

A firmware error that causes an orange light to blink signifies that the device is in recovery mode. A solid orange light, on the other hand, indicates that it is just getting started. Here are some potential fixes to fix this bug.

  • First, go to D-link's website and download the appropriate firmware.
  • Additionally, you can set 192.168.0.2 as your computer's static IP address.
  • Next, push the button for reset. Holding down the reset button should take about 30 seconds. The Power LED will blink orange to enter firmware recovery mode.
  • Next, open your PC's web browser at http://192.168.0.1 and select the firmware you downloaded.

  • Let an image flash on the router. If it restarts before hitting 100%, don't freak out. If the page loads repeatedly or endlessly, your browser might not support it.
  • DHCP is how you can get your router to give you the new IP address.

Essential D-Link Extender Troubleshooting Advice
