Owners of this device probably already know that there are 8 LEDs in a transparent dome on the top. According to Netgear, each LED is supposed indicate activity on each of the 8 antenna's that are in the device.

With DD-WRT, this indicator is no longer functioning. A quick shout out to Eko asking how those LEDs are run:

Eko wrote:
it's done in kernel ar boot. Netgear uses it as char device.
See e.g. my linux.v24_2/arch/mips/bcm947xx/time.c


That doesn't really mean much to me but perhaps someone on the this forum would have some thoughts on this?

Thanks

Bump.

I'd like to +1 the request for more info; is there any practical way for the [power] user to leverage these LED's? I enjoy bright lights; especially those I can script as I did for my WRT's of the past.

Thanks!

Is there some command that we could run on the router to at least turn the lights on? I would really appreciate if somebody could find a way to enable them.

If you're a decent C programmer, these 2 snippets might help:

Code:
/* Netgear WNDR3300 wps led control, Eko 26. Nov. 2008 */
#define WNDR3300_REG_EXT_IF_ADDR     0xBB000000
#define WNDR3300_REG_EXT_IF_CONFIG   0x00000011
#define WNDR3300_REG_EXT_IF_WAIT     0x0404142A

static void *led_sbh = NULL;

static int wndr3300_wpsled_control( int pattern )
{
    chipcregs_t *regs;

    if (!(led_sbh = sb_kattach(NULL)))
        return -ENODEV;

    regs = (chipcregs_t *) sb_setcore(led_sbh, SB_CC, 0);

    W_REG(SB_CC, &regs->prog_config, WNDR3300_REG_EXT_IF_CONFIG);
    W_REG(SB_CC, &regs->prog_waitcount, WNDR3300_REG_EXT_IF_WAIT);

    uint16 *extIf = (uint16 *)WNDR3300_REG_EXT_IF_ADDR;
    *extIf = (uint16) ~ pattern;

    return 0;
}
/* end: Netgear WNDR3300 wps led control */


and

Code:
/* router Netgear WNDR3300 - turn wps dome led off */
if ( nvram_match ("boardnum", "01")
&& nvram_match ("boardtype", "0x0472")
&& nvram_match ("boardrev", "0x23") )
{
    wndr3300_wpsled_control( 0 );
}


I don't know valid patterns for the LED, but I'm guessing they would just be bit positions you can try toggling.
