I have some scripts that manually disable wifi
When disabling 2.4 Ghz the led switches off, but not when disabling 5GHz.

Is there a command to switch off the 5g led?

I tried
wl -i eth1 leddc 1

but it does not work

RT-AC56U
Firmware:380.59
 
The RT-AC56U can be a bit tricky, as I think it "fakes" the 5 GHz LED through special firmware code.

Note that the 5 GHz interface is eth2, not eth1.

That's what I did (I will correct thre first post).
The command succeeds, but the led is still on.
Notice that by using the professional tab to switch 5GHz off also switches the led off.
I also tried to nvram set led_5g=0 and service restart_leds but that leads to nothing either.

Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks for your support Merlin
 
this seems to do the trick:

led_ctrl 8 0

led_ctrl should work, yes, as I made it take into account any special cases such as some revisions of the AC56 and AC68 use.
