Thanks guys for all the help and suggestions. Got the RE205 and it is working good so far. It has killed the dead spot in my bedroom. Yes, the speed is lost by about 20-30 % but it serves my purpose.
Question : Can I keep this range extender ON 24x7, just like the Jio router, or are there any limitations ? Asking this because the device is getting heated up.

I have a 150 mbps plan. On direct router, I am getting 106 down / 141 upload speed. With repeater, I am getting 67 up and 92 down. This is when I am sitting equidistant between repeater and router. If I move even 5-6 steps away from repeater, speed drops to 35 up and and 45 down. I know its not a good thing but atleast now I have a stable wifi.

It is no longer showing. It was there a few hours ago. Maybe out of stock.

@DrStrange Thanks for the link. I now see that batteries for the jiofi is available on their site.👍. The jiofi unit at my place had a swollen battery during lockdown & was not in stock with jio stores.
I have been tracking the Jio Mesh device for some time and was able to order it today from jio.com website. The jio site does not seem to have a direct link to this product but google search lands on the correct page. Let's see if I get it. By the way, per specs on the product page, this device supports the 'easymesh' standard so third party easymesh certified mesh devices should also work with jio gateway.

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 ?
So I got my Jio mesh device today. Here are some initial thoughts:
- Setup is very easy. just power it and connect to the main router with a LAN cable and it will pair. No technical knowledge required. After pairing it can be placed elsewhere.
- There is no LAN cable in the box which is required for pairing.
- Pairing is easy, but placement is a pain. I was either getting orange (too close) or red (too far/disconnected) lights. This- I guess will be true with any mesh device depending on the complexity of your home/office. Finally after getting the perfect location, I'm happy to report that it does make a difference and I have good wifi everywhere in my home (its a 2 floor house- router on the ground floor, mesh unit on the first floor).
- It supports both wired and wireless backhaul. It means that if you have an older jio router, then you could connect one unit with a LAN cable and additional units as satellites. But with multiple units (5000+ for 2) you are in the ballpark with other mesh systems.
- Per Jio website, this device is EasyMesh compliant so third party mesh devices that use EasyMesh (though there are very few) should work with the jio router- though I have no way to test or confirm it.
- This unit JCM0112 is compatible with Jio JC04032 (blue) router.
- This unit is MADE IN CHINA. There were several links/articles when this thing was launched, indicating that this unit was made in India by Neolync electronics in Karnataka. I was excited about that but looks like Jio stuck with their Chinese suppliers.
