4th gen, up to date at 7.6.4. I restarted the router multiple times and it always came back to flashing yellow. Several alerts in airport utility. I think one was that wan was down, one was that it couldn't get an ip (because the wan was down), and I don't remember the third. When I dismissed them, the router reset itself automatically and it went to green.
That's normal. We meant the LAN should have kept working even with the blinking yellow light caused by the WAN outage. Green light isn't required for LAN functionality. For instance, I once ignored a firmware update for a month, because of a bug, and my Airport happily kept working with the blinking yellow light, both WAN and LAN in that case.
In another instance, I had a double NAT setup and I let the Airport blink for maybe two months with everything working fine in the interim, both WAN and LAN on account of nothing actually being wrong.
