Stop the power led from unnecessarily flashing green and orange on Netgear WGT634U with LuCI on 8.09 or 8.09.1
Login to the router using the web interface
Click on "Administration"
Under the "System" menu click "LED Configuration"
Click "Add Entry"
LED Name: 0x08
LED Device: power
Click "Save & Apply"
The power led will now stop flashing and go green.

You can also change the led status without web interface.
On the console login you can type:
echo none > /sys/class/leds/power/trigger (led becomes permanently green)
echo timer > /sys/class/leds/power/trigger (led becomes permanently green)
echo heartbeat > /sys/class/leds/power/trigger (heartbeat orange/green)
echo default-on > /sys/class/leds/power/trigger (led becomes permanently orange)
you can also echo to /proc/diag/led/power
try a little, it's funny.
Some things happen and I don't know why.
If you like to have a orange/green blinking led, you must echo a string, e.g. "foobar" to /proc/diag/led/power
If you wanna have the settings permanently, just add this line to one of the start scripts.
If you compiled in or installed "kmod-ledtrig-morse", you have to do these steps to use it:
echo morse > /sys/class/leds/power/trigger
You now have a new file in /sys/class/leds/power/ called "message". You can use it this way:
echo SOS > /sys/class/leds/power/message
Show your power led out of your window to the street and let the people help you further :-)
