| + | The Xiaomi AX3000T features a front LED strip that can light up in yellow (actually orange), blue, and white. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The default OpenWRT configuration is as follows: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^ LED ^ Behavior | ||
| + | | Yellow | ||
| + | | Blue | Solid after boot | | ||
| + | | White | Not in use | | ||
| + | |||
| + | The white LED can be activated by turning on both the yellow and blue LEDs simultaneously. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For example, the following configuration will set the white LED to be solid when the PPPoE connection is established. If the connection is lost, the color will revert to blue. | ||
