How do I turn ON the top panel status lights?

The User Guide explains (by logging into the Netgear router and choosing ADVANCED SETTINGS --> LED Control Settings) how to turn OFF the rest of the LEDs but says nothing about how to turn them back on.
Look for the switch on the back.
If you visit the support pages:

you can feed in your model number and find the documentation for your R7800 hardware.
Find Rear Panel.

- michaelkenward — thank you! When I turned around my NETGEAR router before (with a bunch of cables attached to its back panel), all I could see was its on/off power switch. After I read your advice, I looked all the way to the left and saw the LED on/off switch. Flipping that switch worked. Now I can see all the lights and what the router is doing. Thank you!
I depend on that router to send my syndicated "AutoMatters & More" column to publications every week. Without internet, I would be dead in the water.
JanGlad it worked. Easily missed.
It doesn't help that Netgear's routers don't have standard ways of handling those LEDs. My R7000P is very different.
I am no car nut. My wife owns an Alfa.
One of my scarier car journeys was when the CEO of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) insisted on driving me all of a few hundreds yards from his office to the production line in his superfast Jag.
I still regret turning down the offer get behind the steering wheel of an electric iPace last year. Too much of a coward. But the thing certainly accelerates
What model and year of Alfa does your wife have? They are fun to drive.
I, too, have turned down opportunities to drive some cool cars. If only the situations had been better or we had the benefit of hindsight. Fortunately I have also had the opportunity to drive many cool cars, too. The one that especially comes to mind was when I first started writing my column about 20 years ago. It was a prototype Ford, similar to a Group B (the "Killer B's") rally car. I got to drive it on the Mulholland Highway in Los Angeles. That car was so much fun to drive. It had massive but completely controllable throttle-on oversteer. Of course Ford would never ever sell such a wild car to the general public.
