Jio identification

MarcT · Jun 28, 2020

Does anyone know what identification information Jio is using to login to the network (ie. login to a session on the fiber connection)?

Is it a pre-configured login?
Is it the Mac address?
Is it a combination?
What Vlan id is the jio network running on?

the box must be most probably linked to your jio login, thats why you can remotely manage your box from anywhere you have myjio installed.

I get that. I am trying to figure out what the Vlan id would be and the username and password for the PPoE settings.

@MarcT Jio Fiber doesn't use PPPoE, they use DHCP and stateful DHCPv6. And they hide VLAN ID to prevent users from enabling bridge mode.

And of course, there's MAC binding.

So it's VLAN tagging, MAC binding and DHCP, stateful DHCPv6.

Thanks @Dark_Nate, I am trying to work with a Media converter.
I can work around the Mac binding
Its really the Vlan ID thats the problem. Sad I might switch to spectranet. I am trying to get MTNL but they refuse to do anything.
I was going to get the Jio connection installed tomorrow but I guess I won't if I can't use my own device. Also it seems like there are lots of privacy issues with Jio.

I think it's the usual GPON authentication. The credentials used to authenticate would be one of the following:
1. Serial number
2. serial number + password
3. Password
About the fact that myjio app can change wifi stuff - I think that is implemented via TR-069 through the ACS on Jio side.

Regarding the VLAN id

This is what I found in js/menuSearchList.js

Code:

"menu74": {

        "mainMenu": "Advanced",

        "secondLevelMenu": "VLAN Configuration",

        "thirdLevelMenu": "",

        "hrefAttrLink": "vlanWan.html",

        "breadCrumb": "Advanced@@Network@@VLAN Configuration"

    },

I guess you could, theoretically speaking, access the page using some curl POST magic? Because sticking vlanWan.html right at the end of "platform.cgi?=" will throw a 401 unauthorized error.

So yeah, best option would be to avoid Jio fiber. In my case, I had no other fiber option so I had to take it.

Edit: Just to avoid confusion, I meant that DHCP and stuff probably happens after GPON authentication.
Also, I'm not even sure if this is what's exactly happening. Maybe someone who worked with GPON stuff before can help us?

This is a great slide that explains different authentication methods used in PPPoE & IPoE.

The Slide is not showing up.
So i managed to get a spectranet connection. So far it seems to be far better than Jio. There were a few problems getting it setup. But now that it is, it on gives better connectivity etc than Jio. I wish there was a way to setup my own device with Jio, double NAT is annoying while gaming.
