If you’re a Jio user, you’ll know about the JioFi 4G Hotspot. This device along with a Jio SIM lets you access 4G internet speeds on practically any device, be a mobile phone, tablet, laptop or a smart TV. If you haven’t already subscribed, here’s where you get a Jio connection, and you can even buy a JioFi device right now.
If
you’re already using a JioFi, here are a few
things you should do to secure it. If you’re sharing your connection with
others, you might want to change the password every now and then. We’ll also
show you how to customize the name of the network. These steps are specific to
the JioFi 3, and may vary slightly depending on the device you’re using.
Switch on your JioFi device
The first thing is to power on the device by holding down the button. If you
haven’t noted down the name of the JioFi’s WiFi network and its password, you
can find it on the back of the packaged box, or under the battery at the back
of the device.
Connect your
phone or a laptop to the JioFi device
Connect
your devices to the JioFi. This is done by going to the Wireless settings on
your device. Use the details found in the previous step.
Access the
configuration interface on a web browser
Access the
URL http://jiofi.local.html or http://192.168.225.1 using a web browser. This
will take you the page where you can manage the JioFi’s settings.
Login to the
interface
Now login
with the credentials, username as administrator and password as administrator
and tap on the login button. You might be prompted to change the default
administrator password. You can do this by clicking on OK.
Change the WiFi
password
To change
the WiFi password, click on Network > Wi-Fi Configuration > Secure key
(in some models).
Choose a
password and save Settings
Change the
password to your liking and click on the Apply button.
That
should help secure the device, but you can also customize things further by
changing the name of your network. Typically, it’s a complex model number, but
you can give it your name or something you fancy.
Changing the
JioFi’s network name (SSID)
Click on
Network > Wi-Fi Configuration. Make changes to the Network Name (SSID)
field. Change the name to your liking and click on Save. You might need to
reconnect to the JioFi device after a
while, in case it doesn’t connect.
Changing the
JioFi’s login ID and password
To further
secure the device, and if you weren’t prompted to change the password earlier,
you can do this by clicking on User Management > Account Management. Enter a
new username and password, then confirm it. Click on the Save button when
you’re done. If you haven’t purchased a device for yourself, you can buy one online right
now.
