process is successful.
The LED lights up amber if there is an error during
the Wi-Fi Protected Setup process. Make sure the
client device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup. Wait
until the LED is off, and then try again.
The LED flashes when a Wi-Fi Protected Setup
session is active. The Router supports one session
