Reliance Jio Fiber Wi-Fi Mesh

@gadgetbro please post speed test results if possible.

Just now Booked from jio website for 2598 (including shipping)


How much speed drop is there??
Do
1. speed test from main "ont" and "mesh".
2. Wifi Auto connects to mesh and ont vice versa according to signal strength ?

Do google search for 'Jio Mesh Extender' and click on the jio.com link. Jio keeps deleting it from their devices page for some reason but the google link (Buy WiFi Extender Online - Boost WiFi Range with JioExtender) worked for me.

Regarding the speed - I have a 150mbps connection. Jio router is located on the ground floor and I get almost the same speed (140-148mbps) on wifi (without mesh) when I'm in the same room as the router. On the room directly above the router room, I get about 100mbps (without mesh). The problem was in the area farthest from the router on the first floor. Without mesh either there was no signal or barely 1-5mbps. with the mesh installed, I'm getting close to 40mbps there. I guess a wifi repeater would have done a similar job but for the same price, I'm getting a mesh extender from Jio so it's not a bad deal. And you can always add more mesh devices later if needed.

Only 40 mbps??
Connected through wifi? Use lan cable "may be you will get full speed"
If 40 mbps, normal wifi repeaters will give that. 2600 is waste.

What about swithing b/w jio ont and mesh?? They automatically switch to higher strength signal?

If this mesh gives only less than half the speed, then we are better off with the extender devices. I was told that mesh delivers nearly the same speed as the main router. Could the placement of your device be a problem ? Maybe try moving it around and see if the speed improves ?

UPDATE: I'm finally getting close to 120mbps on the first floor (previous dark zones) by playing around with the location of the mesh device (basically moved it closer to the router and ignored the orange light) and by changing the default 5GHZ channel from 149 to 44. I'm not sure how these channels work but my Nintendo switch was not detecting the 5GHZ SSID and I looked online where some people had suggested changing the channel to anything below 149. I did change to 44 and there it was. It also boosted the speed somehow.

You can use wifi analyzer app from Google play store to check signal strength & which channel is crowded

great.
I purchased for pent house at 2nd floor. I lives at groungfloor.

Better to connect by lan wire. You will get full speed.
Now your mesh is working like repeater

Could you please tell me which ONT model you have ? Is it the old white one that was given for 4500 security deposit, or is it the blue one ?

Sorry for late reply, It’s a Blue one

Mine gives 90-120 Mbps. I am on 150 Mbps plan

I have a issues with Wifi Calling with Jio.

JioFibre main router is at center of my home and extender (TP-Link via ether-net cable) at corner of my bedroom (Jio Fibre signal is not great in that corner). Now when using Wifi Calling (cellular network is very patchy inside my home) and moving from bedroom to hall/kitchen, my mobile will switch the router from TP Link to Jio and call will gets disconnected.

I did not have this issues with my previous ISP wherein my main router and extender were both TP Link and handoff was smooth.

I am using same SSID, encryption method etc between main router and extender.

Only solution for me is Mesh network and I was about to buy TP-Link but then I came across Jio Mesh. For those who are using Jio Mesh, can some one pls confirm if Wifi calling works fine? Does it handoff between routers smoothly without disconnecting the calls while moving from one room to another?

I checked in Reliance store and it seems extender is not available yet.

Why don’t you remove the auto - join option of your main ont Wi-Fi networks and keep your phone connected to your TP-Link xtender ?

TP-Link range is not good enough in living room, so I need connection from ONT router.

@bobby_kes what kind of speeds do you get? Because I think that it only has 100mbps ports?

Hey @bobby_kes please do tell me how much speed you are getting with the wired mode of JioMesh😁
