Netgear r6700v3 LEDS Startup Script

for i in 1 7 8 9 12 13 ; do gpio enable $i ; done
for i in 10 11 ; do gpio disable $i ; done


# note: et didn't exists on my device, I therefore turn on jffs support and uploaded a copy to /tmp using scp and finally moved it to /jffs
# if et exists on your device, by running et directly in cli, you can remove the /jffs/ prefix from the following commands
# 
# /jffs/et robowr 0x0 0x18 0x1ff 
/jffs/et robowr 0x0 0x18 0x0
/jffs/et robowr 0x0 0x1a 0x0
# /jffs/et robowr 0x0 0x16 0x0

# also note: commented out et robowr commands use to work with netgear-r6700v3-webflash-05-09-2020-r43099.bin 
# but for the netgear-r6700v3-webflash-11-05-2021-r47618.bin they no longer seem to work or possibly do something but, inhibit desired effect of full night mode
# Ethernet port 1 seems to shut off now as well with only the two commands, which is great, whereas in the past with the 4 lines it wouldn't shut off.

# Ordered by physical LED from left to right (some changes since r43099 i.e. this is what my discovery for r47618 produced; need others to confirm.)

How to scp:
https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-use-scp-command-to-securely-transfer-files/

For those missing et (mini linux guide):

1. Download et from here: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1203814#1203814 - backup here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/pdysgl093sqzfie/et/file
2. Enable ssh - It's under Services > Services > Secure Shell - I added a public key with password enabled and login with router password.
3. Enable and clean jffs - see More on JFFS link above and then read Directions for (normal) users: using Web-GUI Interface in that wiki - probably best to reboot to make sure it's enabled and you're seeing Available and Free space specs.
4. scp /path/to/et [email protected]:/tmp/et - update the path to et file, which you just downloaded to your local machine, as well as update your router's ip address accordingly; most likely 192.168.1.1
5. mv /tmp/et /jffs - move et from /tmp into /jffs
6. Add script above as a Startup Script via the WebGUI (or via other methods listed in Startup Scripts Wiki)
7. Reboot

If everything went according to plan, all leds should be turned off; after initial boot.

# 6 Internet Toggle Led Color (White/Amber)
how to toggle Led Color to green when it's a giga WAN?

@Mile-Lile sorry, didn't see your question until now.

I don't think you can change the colors but, I could be wrong. I don't have a giga wan so I couldn't even test if I wanted to (I just ran a speedtest and I'm at 23.8 Mbps download; cries tears of slowness...)
