I recently just purchased a Apple Airport Express 
for my room so I could wireless stream my music from my Macs. The process for configuring the Airport was more than easy, and I got onto the internet very easily. However today I got home, and I went to plug my computer into its power adapter, opened it up, and when I got on Firefox/Safari, it would not load my homepage.
I thought it might just be a delay in configuring the IP address or some other stuff like that, but I opened up the network preferences and it showed that it was connected but the internet was not responding (red color). I went to print a document, and the printer printed perfectly. However, what baffled me most was that the printer is on my wireless network; it is not connected via usb to the device, so it worked.
I decided to just go to the airport utility and then hit revert to the default settings, since I have really nothing else to do this afternoon. However, I was posed with another problem. I left my computer sitting while I made a nice delicious batch of bagel bites (what other was is there to reward frustration?) and I came back and it said:
"While airport was restarting it became non-responsive."
Mad as heck, that I just burnt my mouth on the hot cheese on the cute little bagels, and this problem, I was like, "OK, LETS TRY THE MANUAL RESET!" Well, it didn't go well, I gently put the paperclip into the little button, and then plugged the device into the wall, and then it blinked amber rapidly... then just blinked solid amber... then I just let it sit to see what it did.
All the Airport Express does now when it is plugged into a wall is just blink the amber; yellowish-orange color.
What can I do to fix this? Thanks a lot for any help suggested!
