R6200v2 LEDs too dim
Possible that in manufacturing of the unit, the actual LED installed or put on the internal board were defective or not built well. So even though the modem maybe working ok, the LED emitted from the parts were not done right in the first place. Normally LEDs are moderate bright to bright depending on kind of LED used and how they LEDs are made.
I have a old Linksys WRT1900AC. Front LEDs are WHITE but daylight I can barely see them. Even in dark there pretty dim. Unit works though.
Thanks for the reply.
My problem is that the LEDs indicating power, internet, and wireless are too dim to be seen. This is also true for the WiFi and WPS button LEDs.
I would like to know if the LEDs could be adjustedf to be brighter.
Netgear Router Model R6200v2, Firmware Version V1.0.3.12
I didn't see anything in the manual.

Is it causing an issue?
Yes, it is an issue to me if I would like to know what is working. I did not see anything in the manual to adjust LED intensity.

Thank you for this relevant information.
The LEDs in my router are probably defective and there appears to be no simple solution for dim LEDs.
