LED lights not working/blinking
Hi,
The LED lights of my Nighthawk are not working properly.
Lan 1 and the USB LED's are off while just USB devices and the modem are connected to this Nighthawk.
When I choose "Turn off all LEDs except Power LED" then two LEDs remain on.
The power LED and the 5Ggz LED.
A reboot does not help and other firmware does not work either.
See attached photo for "Turn off all LEDs except Power LED" then two LEDs remain on.
Thank you in advance...
- The problem has been solved.I restarted the router and in the router configuration I switched the LEDs off and on again.
Now the LEDs suddenly work as they should.
Even if I switch off the LEDs in the configuration, the extra led next to the power led will not stay on.
Only the power LED stays on, as it should be.
I have done a firmware upgrade to V1.0.2.63 today.
LEDs from the USB and from the 5Ghz and 4.2Ghz Wifi do it again, without any problems.
Even if I put a fixed network cable in the Netgear router, the LEDs from Lan 1 to 4 flash again.

Are you using the LED switch on the back?
- Hi Michaelkenward,
Yes, I have also tried the switch for the LEDs.
