How to disable the Ethernet port status lights
Why would I want to disable the Ethernet port status lights? Depending
on the placement of the router in a home, some users might find the lights
distracting. You can easily disable the lights using Cisco Connect, but you can
also disable them using the browser-based utility.
To disable the lights using Cisco Connect:
1. In Windows, click Start, All Programs, then click Cisco Connect.
– OR –
On a Mac, open the Applications folder, then click Cisco Connect.
