The device range is decent enough and we could get 1-2 bars with 2 rooms and 2 walls apart. To ensure that you get good speeds, you should place the JioFi device in such a place where the reception is good. In our testing, we consistently got a speed of around 10 to 15 Mbps. Your JioFi Device is now ready and you can start using it as a Hotspot. The default login name and password to login is administrator/administrator, which you can change as well! You can change the default SSID and password by going to the JioFi Router’s administration panel. Connect it via WiFi, and if your SIM is properly activated, you should be able to get the internet on the all the connected devices. Now, from your Desktop, Laptop or mobile phone look for the SSID and password that you have noted earlier. Once, you get a confirmation SMS stating your SIM is activated and ready to use, you can start using your JioFi device. Alternatively, you can put the SIM card in a VoLTE phone and call 1977 for data+voice services to get started. Call from any number to 180 and your data services for JioFi will start. Instructions for activation of SIM card are given on the SIM jacket. ( For us, it took more than 2 days for the SIM to get activated). It generally takes 24 hours for the SIM to get activated. Note: Before starting to set up the JioFi router, you need to make sure that the Jio SIM is activated and ready.

Here are the details of various icons and lights on JioFi device.

After the device is charged, press the button on top for a few seconds, you will see 4 icons light up on the top. If the device is not charged, please ensure that you charge it over 50 percent using the supplied wire and adapter. Once noted, you can insert the battery and close the back cover on the device. Before you insert the battery, please ensure to note down the SSID and password (PWD) which will be needed later to connect devices to the hotspot.
