Dear all, Now the year is coming to an end I’d like to bring up this subject once again with a wink ;-)
https://video.twimg.com/tweet_video/C0MB7QFVEAAoMqn.mp4 and say thanks to all of you for the very informative and educating posts on all kinds of Wireless subjects during the year. I wish you and your beloved ones a Merry Christmas and the best wishes for the new Year!

I wish they had an option to leave the power LED on, but not have other LED's blink for network traffic. My opinion is that the flashing lights would be annoying to me on the ceiling of a room I was living in, but the solid power light would be no different than a little light coming in through the window or under the door. That would avoid the occasional trouble ticket where someone happens to notice that AP's in classrooms have flashing lights and the one in their room doesn't, therefore the one in their room must be broken. This summer we installed Aruba AP-205H's in student rooms in 2 residence halls. The lights on those are small enough and dim enough that I decided not to mess with them and have left them on. So far I've not gotten any complaints, so either I'm right that they're small enough not to be annoying, or students are self solving the problem with tape or post-it notes, etc. On Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 8:57 AM, Lee H Badman <lhbad...@syr.edu<mailto:lhbad...@syr.edu>> wrote: First-world problems… Curious if others have gone down this road in Residence Halls. We’re not really being asked to, but are considering wholesale disabling LEDs on our Cisco APs in the dorms as a quality of life step. Has this caused anyone any pain when it comes to not being able to see the colors on the AP as status indication? Have you actually had requests to disable the LEDs? Overall experience with accommodating or denying the request?
