How to get 5GHz wifi speed using Reliance Jio Fiber?

Hi Abhishek,

What speed are you getting via 2.4ghz band?

Do you have any PC connected via LAN? If yes, how much speed do you get in it?

How much speed does 5ghz provide at the moment?

Does your mobile support 5ghz wifi?

Hi everyone,

Greetings!

I am new to this forum. I have GigaFiber connection from Jio and Jio has provided the router JCO110 and I have connected this router via LAN to LAN to the Airtel Huawei HG630a. I am able to connect to the Huawei HG630 as well as to the JCO110 both via WiFi in my mobile but the speed I am getting is of only 2.4GHz. Means only 2.4GHz is getting utilized of Huawei router whereas the Huawei router has 5GHz wifi band.

Kindly help.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

Abhishek

Right now, at the time of writing this post. I am getting 91Mbps via LAN.

I am using Google Pixel 2 so obviously yes.

Obviously it's not obvious as you had not mentioned it in your first post. There are many Jio fiber user who complain that they don't get the promised 100Mbps via wifi, sadly not knowing that their device/s don't support 5ghz. Even if you speak to jio they will ask similar questions.
Normally one gets 95- 99Mbps, you can check at different times of the day if you get 91 then you can call the blokes who installed it.
What I have done is there is a slight difference in the ssid's for both the band's. Normally it should automatically connect to 5ghz instead of 2.4ghz (it's so in my case, across devices). Try manually connecting to the 5ghz (assuming it's visible in 'wifi' in settings), you should get 95-99Mbps on 5ghz too. Also try connecting another wireless device to the 5ghz band incase you still can't connect your mobile.
BTW: According to TRAI, customers should get atleast 80% of the promised speed.

And who told you Huawei HG630a got 5ghz band? No, its 2.4ghz wireless router.
Same with your Jio JCO 110 router.
Both don't support 5ghz band.

I guess that solves the mystery.

Thanks for the help. I never realized that Huawei HG630 is also a 2.4GHz band wifi router.

Getting a dual band router is now the only option. Let us know when you get it working.

Yup, I struggled a lot with speeds in 2.4 GHz band it's erratic as hell. I bought Archer C6 dual-band router now almost all devices are connected via 5 GHz band, much better consistent performance.

My solution ..
Using jio router with wifi off
Connected Asus router 2.4ghz jio lan to asus wan
Act direct lan cable to lanport for dual wan purpose
Connected archer 5ghz router to asus router lan to lan ..
Using asus router as access point and providing Ip everything ...

Both act and jio connected to asus router as dual wan option .. fall back not as load balancing .

The Archer C6 is better choice, as the C60 doesn't have Gigabit ports, so the AC 1350 is pointless more or less.

TP-Link Archer C6 AC1200 Wireless MU-MIMO Gigabit Router (Black) https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07GVR9TG7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XIn0DbNA4HS5M

@varkey The WAN port is 10/100Mbps only. So, it's basically useless if your plan speed is above 100Mbps. The Archer C6 is definitely a better choice as it has Gigabit WAN and LAN ports andsupport MU - MIMO whereas C60 doesn't.
