A DLink extender flashing orange light usually means that there was a setup mistake or a problem with the device's connection to the router.
This indicator indicates that the extender is experiencing difficulties connecting to the main network which might be caused by a number of things including a poor signal improper setup or an out-of-date firmware version.
The router may have trouble maintaining a dependable connection if the extender is placed too far away.
To improve signal strength and guarantee a steady connection try positioning the extender closer to the router.
Incorrect Wi-Fi settings might be another factor.
The extender will not function as intended if it is not set up correctly to connect to the appropriate Wi-Fi network.
This problem could be fixed by returning the extender to its factory settings and configuring it via the D-Link setup wizard or the mobile app.
Verify that you are using the proper password and connecting to the correct network name (SSID).
It's worthwhile to update the firmware via the dlinkap.local website or app because out-of-date firmware might also cause connectivity issues.
Lastly power cycle the router and extender by turning them off waiting a little while and then turning them back on if none of these fixes resolve the issue.
This procedure can occasionally fix small software bugs that are causing the orange light to blink.
