@TomG has been happening to me for a while but when I dim out the lights, I e see the first three veeeeery faint in a dark room. Am assuming it's night mode but I can't seem to find it on the router advanced menu and only version one is supported on tether -Archer C8v2

@BobElectrician exactly what I did today! Who needs Leds? That said and reading the same problem on so many models.. I'm doubting going tplink in the future..

@ZambOnline Have an Archer C8v2.. Tether only supports v1.. 2/3/4 not supported.. why? No idea.. Same light issue but as read earlier, letting the sleeping dogs lie..

@BobElectrician I have an Archer D9 and have precisely the same issue. Unit works fine as far as connectivity goes. No LED's lit except for the LAN one. It seems in the dark they are very dimly lit. I went to purchase another unit and the guy said he has the same issue. No LED control in the firmware GUI either. Was this ever remedied?

@Matt_Schof I'm also still waiting for some solution! Nothing works the lights yet for me. The only light that still works, is the red one, when there's no internet connectivity.

I am facing the same issue. When turns on or connected ethernet cable right side first 3 lights will turn blue for some time then goes off. Powe light, wifi and eternet, internet light normally always remain off. It seems to be a bug. Because when ethernet plugs in, it will turn on orange for few seconds. Tp-link should address this issue.

Even in Tether App I don't see to control the LED any more.

I bought a used Archer C9 V1 on eBay, and when I received it, everything on the router. INCLUDING THE PANEL LIGHTS, seemed to work great for me.

Then, I set it up, first doing a factory reset, then, setting the passwords and the SSID's and other settings for my home infrastructure, and I found the firmware that was installed in it was very old (almost 6 years old), so I updated it to the most recent firmware   archer_c9v1_us-up-ver3-17-1-P1[20210107-rel55552].zip

Ever since, the panel lights do not work for me.  I only have two lights that work: the USB light, and the Ethernet port light.  No other lights work.  And, the panel lights are not dim, they do not work at all.

To be clear: the power light is not on.  And the 2.4 Ghz and 5.0 Ghz wireless lights are not on. Even the Internet light is no on.

The router works very well though, including the wireless and wired connections.  The only problem is the panel lights.

I tried the TETHER app, and it does not show any controls for the LED's.

I reached out to TP LINK support on this, and they are mum.  So unlike them.

Has anyone found a solution to this?
