It sounds like the firmware upload dodn't work; be sure the Apex is hard-wired to the network and try again. If the Apex is wireless and you perform a firmware update what you describe will happen; there is a note about this in the update instructions.

There's a series of troubleshooting steps starting at page 83 in the User Guide (stickied) that helps you find network issues that might prevent the firmware load from completing. Have you looked at that and worked through those?
The yellow light on the base module means it's booting or in bootloader mode. Yellow light on the EB8 means it can't talk to the base module. What is the error the firmware loader gives you? Does it just time out over and over?
