You can manage this through either the web interface or the Tether app - Click Read More below for the full solution.

This is the most reliable way to access the full range of system tools.

1. Connect to the Extender: Ensure your device is connected to the extender's network (via Wi-Fi or Ethernet).

2. Log In: Open a web browser and go to http://tplinkrepeater.net. Log in with your admin password.

3. Navigate to Settings: Go to the Settings tab at the top of the page.

4. Find Night Mode: On the left-hand sidebar, click on System Tools and then select LED Control.

5. Enable Night Mode:

   • Toggle the Night Mode switch to On.

   • Set the LED Off Time (e.g., from 22:00 to 07:00).

   • Click Save.

If you prefer using your smartphone, the Tether app provides a more modern interface for these adjustments.

1. Open Tether: Launch the app and select your TL-WA850RE from the device list.

2. Access Tools: Tap on the Tools icon at the bottom right of the screen.

3. LED Control: Select LED Control from the menu.

4. Configure: * You can toggle the LEDs off immediately using the LED Status switch.

   • Alternatively, tap Night Mode to schedule a specific time for the lights to deactivate automatically each evening.

• Time Settings: If Night Mode doesn't trigger at the correct hour, go to System Tools > Time Settings in the web interface to ensure the extender is synced to the correct time zone.

• Manual Button: Note that the physical button on the device is typically for WPS/Reset; there is usually no physical button to toggle the LEDs, so software control is essential.

• Firmware: If you don't see the "LED Control" option, you may need to update your firmware under System Tools > Firmware Upgrade.
