Hmmm... my 900AP+ is basically a default config, apart from fiddling with
the diversity and power settings. My WLAN LED does not go on unless there
is actual traffic.

I use a slightly unusual setup - no wired ethernet connection to the AP. I
have wireless cards in my server and laptop and bounce the traffic through
the AP. I doubt this would affect it though.

Cheers.
