@Martin01 

With the Hub One working as a wireless access point will result in the 'b' (broadband) light to flash due to the Hub One seeing no DSL connection. This can not be turned off.

You could cover the light with dark tape or I have found it is possible to peel off the small plastic cover where the light is and cover the led with dark tape, replace the cover. Looks a bit better.
