Can the blue led lights be switched off? it's kind of irritating in our family room whilst watching tv to see flashing lights...

Yes, you can configure the WPS button to turn the LED ligths on/off, instead of activating WPS. Go to Advanced settings / System / Basic config - WPS button behavior

I set this router up and i can see files on my external hdd but i cannot write or delte to the files...any advice?

You have to set the samba (file sharing) permissions.http://event.asus.com/2012/nw/dummy_ui/en/Advanced_AiDisk_samba.html

Really interested in this one, how about the lan router capabilities? i mean, wifi capabilities looks great but i have a gamer pc that use the lan.

Excellent router! Purchase it and you will not be disappointed!

compatible with expressVPN?

If you have any technical compatibility questions just call Asus. They have a hotline and they were great helping me with any little questions I had.
