Reliance Jio Fiber Queries

@undercover From the quick start guide provided with the box.

Can you share the same here?

@undercover I currently don't have that with me, but still, lemme see what I can do for you.

@sumantrab99 please post the name plate details / model number of the stb and front and rear views of stb.

Here it is. In this video also, the one shared on this thread, you can clearly see the in-box contents mentioned on the leaflet.

In-Box contents:-

1. Jio GigaTV STB
2. AAA batteries
3. Power Adaptor
4. One ethernet cable
5. One HDMI cable
6. Remote control
7. Quick start guide

Optional Accessories:-
1. Gaming Console
2. Webcam

Here's the screenshot:

After going through all posts about giga router model numbers and colors, it appeared to me that 500 comes in two varients. Both are same by specs. The older one is white without facility for wall mounting and the later one also is of 500 model in UF as the series. The improvisation appears to be only wall mounting facility and change of color from white to black.

The earlier model of 300, appears to have come in black color without wall mounting facility and less features.

I am subject to comment and correction.

(1). Jio GigaFiber Black colour ONT Model No. WU JCO300.
Manufacturing date 8/2017.
Made in China.
Dual band Wifi 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.


(2). Jio GigaFiber White colour ONT Model No. UF JCO500.
Manufacturing date 08/2016.
Made in Vietnam.
Dual band Wifi 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.

Both have same number of ports and buttons. Weight may have some difference.

I have seen some videos on YouTube where white colour jio GigaFiber ONT (Jio home GigaHub) is v2.01. and some are v1.0 written on cover of Jio manual page.

But I am bit surprised because if white GigaFiber ONT is old model then why it v2.01 and it's Model No. is JCO500 whereas new black colour Jio GigaFiber is v1.0 and it's model No. is JCO300.

Why black colour ONT have smaller model number and v1.0? Is it indicate that it is lower/cheaper model compared to white ONT?

Because version number is the revision of that particular model. Hence JCO500 can be v2. 01 and JCO300 can be v1. 0

@undercover No. I am not mainly taking about v1.0 or v2.01. My main query is that if White ONT (JCO500) is older model and black ONT is new model then why it's model no. is JCO300 but not JCO500 (Black) or JCO600 etc. ?

Isn't indicates that black ONT may be older model or maybe lower/cheaper version model compared to JCO500 (White)?

@undercover If you have any detail information or any Idea about this then you can share the information with us. It will be beneficial to me and others also. I have raised a valid point. Read it again and think about it.

Can't able to read. Is it support WiFi?

@SG_curiosity I'm not sure. But even if it supports, I still think that one should use ethernet cable for best experience, as for most of us, the router won't be in the same room as the TV.

@sumantrab99 but ethernet cable are not very long (around 1.5m). But wire will be required atleast 10 to 15 meters for installation on walls.

@SG_curiosity Yes, I'm well aware of that. The cable provided in the box will be of little help, and will only be effective if your router is next to your STB. Else, you'll have to purchase your own cable and make your own wiring from your router to your STB.

Normally there are black colour Jio GigaFiber fiber optics wires on poles on every streets and roads. But I have also see some dark orange colour wires (same size or may be few millimetres extra thick compared to black wires) in my area over poles in few large size street roads along with normal black Jio GigaFiber wires. I am not 100% sure but I think these orange wires are also from Jio because there is no other private company of fiber internet like airtel etc. I tried to trace these orange wires and I find that these wires are connected to nearby mobile towers and may be those mobile towers are also Jio. But I also remember that few days ago, I talk with Jio GigaFiber installation team and they said all black colour Jio GigaFiber wires comes from nearby Jio Central office (fiber backhaul) of this area but that time I forgot to ask about orange wires.

1. Are these orange wires also in your locality?
2. So, Is internet comes from nearby jio mobile towers to Jio GigaFiber or it is comes from nearby backhaul building or both?

Orange cable that you see is an armoured cables. I have one near my house. They had placed it because of shifting of OLT to a different location. Otherwise all other infrastructure is underground.

@undercover Aren't armoured OFC a little bit thicker than the standard ones?

But why it is connected with mobile towers?
(Note:- It is not very thick. It is almost same as normal black pole wire of Jio GigaFiber. It is laid over pole to pole like black Jio GigaFiber wires.)
