General Discussions about Jio AirFiber

The IDU (router) installed inside home should work with different AirFiber connections bro. As it works in DHCP mode.

However, the external antenna which has the eSIM profile and connects to the nearby tower won't work like that.

My question was, if I connect an AirFiber router to another AirFiber Plus splitter's connection, will it work? I'm not talking about using it as an extender. For example, if I take my router to someone else's house and connect it to their AirFiber Plus antenna, will it function?

It *should* work. If you try it, let us know whether it works or not so that it will help others.

Got the JioAirfiberA6 password for the first time but obviously not connecting in mobile wifi.

Hoga bhi nhi, it's backend is v6-only, and it needs EoGRE tunneling, as well as CLAT translation of v6 to v4 at router level.

Regarding the Jio Airfiber Plus and it's "not so good" performance, I wonder if jio is actually daisy-chaining the 3 A6s together via SFP+, instead of seperate SFP+ to each of the 3 A6 on the tower. Only way to find out is via the tower guys, if someone have good relations with them, or have a tower installed in their locality/own building with A6 installed.

Yeah I also want IDU-only hardware - this ODU+IDU fixed stuff is pissing me off - currently have Jio AirFiber but will switch to airtel immediately if they do this way.

How is the performance of Jio AirFiber ??? Any reasons why you want to shift ?

BTW, Airfiber users paying same amount as wired broadband still getting less benefits compared to fiber

I don't use it much, it's kept as backup/failover for my primary Tata Play FTTH, but whenever I check I get 90+ mbps with my 100 mbps plan even during rains. Only reason I want to shift is I prefer the simpler hardware of IDU-only option - I don't know who will bring it first if at all - currently Airtel has some option but seems only for internal/stores deployment and not for customers yet.

Recently TRAI scolded these operators for classifying AirFiber as fixed/wireline category to inflate their deployment numbers and asked them to classify/report as wireless connections - so maybe now they will be willing to provide IDU-only devices.
