Asus AC3200 is a very powerful router. I bought it because I wanted to have better bandwidth control (QoS). I chose AC3200 due to the fact that it has three separate wireless interfaces. Last selection factor is that it supports alternative firmware called <a href="http://tomato.groov.pl/?page_id=81" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tomato</a>. I used tomato on my very old and still working Linksys WRT54G.

# How to install Tomato on Asus AC3200 router?

A procedure is very easy. My router originally came with following firmware **FW 3.0.0.4.380_3479-g683f27**. When I tried to upload Tomato firmware I received immediately this warning: **Firmware upgrade unsuccessful. This may result from incorrect image or error transmission. Please check the version of firmware and try again.** This is because Asus blocked firmware upgrade.

To skip this I downgraded Asus firmware to **WRT-AC3200_30043789529** using **ASUS Firmware Restoration** utility. Once downgraded flashing Tomato firmware was possible.

# How to disable LEDs on Asus AC3200 router?

To disable the LEDs (both wireless interfaces plus all LAN) simply enter following commands via SSH.

```bash
et robowr 0x00 0x18 0x1e0
et robowr 0x00 0x1a 0x1e0
wl -i eth1 leddc 1
wl -i eth2 leddc 1
gpio enable 12
gpio enable 15
```

To enable LEDs enter following commands via SSH.

```bash
et robowr 0x00 0x18 0x1ff
et robowr 0x00 0x1a 0x1ff
wl -i eth1 leddc 0
wl -i eth2 leddc 0
gpio disable 12
gpio disable 15
```
Once enabled they will stay in defined state.

# How to schedule LEDs change on Asus AC3200 router?

In Tomato go to **Administration / Scheduler** and configure scheduler according to your needs. I disable all LEDs at 10PM and enable them at 8 AM.
