How to turn off LEDs for RBK12/RBR10?
Does anyone know if i am able to turn off LEDs for RBK12/RBR10?
I understand the Bluelight suggests that my connection is good/stable. But anyway to turn it off?
Its quite bright at night.

No. Page 11 of the User Manual says the light stays on all the time.

Cover it with electrical tape.
This new "10" series Orbi product appears to have some differences from the previous models. I was surprised to learn that the LED would be one of the differences. Here's how Netgear describes the expected behavior of the previous Orbi lights:

Their blue light is supposed to turn off after 90-180 seconds. Of course, the 10's do not have a "Ring".
I learn something surprising every day on this forum.
If the 1 series can't disable the front LED, place a small Post-It Note sticker over the front of the LED to reduce the brightness of the LED.
