I worked for a WiFi AP company in downtown Portland a few years ago. The
APs ran OpenWrt and used similar LEDs for signal strength, peering,
error/fault indication.

OpenWrt refers to these as "default LEDs.

The leds section contains settings that apply to non-default leds

"(default leds are usually “power connected” led, “system alive” led, leds
showing ethernet port activity and leds showing wifi radio status. Their
settings are defined somewhere else, see development guides)"

Based on that paragraph, Openwrt seems to fully support standard WiFi radio
status LED functionality across the board.

Fun fact! You can even have the LEDs signal a message using Morse Code!

The LED signals a message using Morse code. If not installed already,
