How to turn off the LED in the access point WAC505 and WAC510?
How to turn off the LED in the access point WAC505 and WAC510? I am using these access points in our hotel and the blinking LED lights are annoying if the access points are installed in the hotel rooms. The manual of WAC505 explains how to switch them off, claiming that there is an "LED Control" button on the dashboard. Unfortunately, when I open my web browser, log into the dashboard of the access point and then look for Management > Configuration > System > Advanced > LED Control there is no LED Control.
Any help is very much appreciated.

Electric tape does a great job of blocking the lights. If using the standard black bothers you, they make a white one. Pretty cheap and easy to do
Initially, on the WAC510 and on the early days of the WAC505 there was no LED control available indeed. This was added as part of the firmware updates to both the Web UI and to Netgear Insight.
Have deployed and operating a bunch of these - admitted under Netgear Insight - and all LED are configured to all off, and still remain off.
What firmware version is in place on your WAC505 and WAC510?
