The Asus RT-AC1900 router (and probably others) has a button on the back to turn all the LEDs on or off. Would be nice if everything had that. I'm sure it's caused some customer confusion at some point but it resets to the lights being on when it's rebooted.

My router (an Archer, can't recall the model) has a "night mode" configurable where the LEDs are disabled during a given time range.

I haven't bothered to turn it on since it lives in the hallway, but at least the option is available.

Thanks for sharing this. I checked my router config and found the option to turn off LED lights except power. A more elegant solution than electrical tape I had been using before.

Modern TVs often have an on-screen menu option to turn off annoying LEDs.
