Whether the ethernet LED stays on or off depends on your Operating System's and/or BIOS settings regarding Wake on LAN. If you have no interest in using this feature than you have not lost any functionality.

    I have a computer (desktop) that ran Windows 7 on it, until Friday, when I upgraded to Windows 8.

    When my computer was turned off when I had Windows 7, the LAN lights on the Ethernet port were on. With Windows 8, I have lights; it's completely dark when my PC is off. Is this OK?

      Do you mean the LEDs on the network adapter or a router/modem that it is connected to?

    This kinda sucks. If you took the time to add an answer, at least add the actual link - that's what we are here for. I think this might be it: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee617165(v=ws.10).aspx
