So my Airport Express is blinking Amber and when I went to check the error, that's what's showing up.

I tried factory resetting the thing but that didn't solve the issue. Not really sure what to do from here, can someone explain how to solve the error in simple terms?

I use one of those in an eccentric network setup, so I know the ins and outs pretty well. That said, I'll need more information. 
 
In your network configuration, what is the Airport Express supposed to do? Is it your sole router? Is it acting as an extension of another network? Are you just using it to stream iTunes?

It's actually the Airport Express Extreme that's having issues, sorry. The larger one.

8.8.8.8 is Google's DNS server. Its always a good "is it me or my ISP's DNS Server" resolver

Getting a lot of "Resolving Host" issues today though, fucking annoying.

Sounds like your ISP might be having some issues. I would second AMcGhie on trying out Google's DNS server. I do, because it's a tic faster than Comcast's. For you, sounds like it might aid reliability. Here's how you set it up:
