But this procedure is not working for the Wifi-LEDs or LAN LEDs.
Thank you for insights on how to disable ALL LEDs by command and/or by script
Regards
PS: Using the Built-In LED-Configuration (System -> LED Configuration) did not help, as you can only set the trigger to none and that did not do anything to the LED state
the LAN LEDs are controlled directly by the switch, and
in the official 17.01.4 the wifi LEDs do not work. If you are using later wifi drivers (like drivers compiled by eduperez for the stable branch) that are in line with kaloz/mwlwifi, the LEDs are directly controlled by the firmware/driver, and no config option is presented in Openwrt/LEDE.
So, it might be that you can't disable those LEDs.
Category: Hardware mod / hack Topic: Disable LEDs Tools: Scissors or sharp knife Materials needed: Black adhesive tape Time needed: 20min for searching black tape, 1min for applying it
How to:
Cut black tape to desired length (sufficient to cover n LEDs)
Apply tape over LEDs
If not sufficient, repeat x times until satisfied with the result
Interestingly, in the Original Linksys Firmware (see Manual: http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/WRT1900ACS_FUG_ENandFR-CA.pdf on Page 69), the Activity Lights can be disabled. If it can be done with the Original Firmware, it actually should be possible with LEDE too? Or am I mistaken and if so why?
OEM firmware is often built with Qualcomm proprietary drivers and tool chains. What the drivers supply often can’t replicate what Qualcomm’s can, especially as their data sheets are both not public and incomplete.
