Bored at work, LED shenanigans. Can you figure out what each one is for?

Spoiler tag your answers in case others want to guess.

Long story short, I've been teaching myself a little bit of coding, trying to script kiddie patch openWRT's frankly ludicrous DFS handling. I did succeed there! At least enough for my needs.

But then I was bored at work, and I have an AP that I added to extend the Wi-Fi to the back corner of the shop (cinder block walls). So I decided to tinker with it.

Pointless, but fun! And educational!

Edit: AP is an EX6120 from Netgear. Basically e waste, especially it's stock firmware that requires an external account to configure ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ I saved it from the trash. Plenty good enough for its purpose.

Oh damn, those things can be re-flashed?

I wonder if I still have one lying around somewhere.

Yep! Not a TON of room on there, but it makes it actually worth having on your network, depending on what you're doing.

Or maybe just used as a remote button for something, it has a WPS button that can be repurposed
