Bhai aapka thik hua yeah problem

T: Brother, is your problem is fixed

Nahi bhai :(

I got some old firmware for JCO404, tried to flash them all one by one, but it seems like they have blocked the firmware downgrade, or flashing through the LMUI, as all of them returned "Firmware invalid or corrupt" which I'm pretty sure are not and I saw some other people also facing the same issue... honestly atp, I'm thinking of replacing their whole ONT with a tplink G3 ONU and a good budget Router like archer c6 which can then have endless possibilities with Openwrt

@malhar_ch bro, I think they are still testing the new firmware version with limited users and your ONT has got as a part of it. I don't see anyone getting this update anywhere hence assuming this.
 
I see :cf2:



I'm not sure but it should be sometime in last month, as problems started happening since then, recently checked and saw few features got removed from the LMUI.

Now in the Jio Home app, I cannot set which SSID should have which band, previously I had two SSIDs one with 2.4GHz band and another with 5GHz, I got quite a lot of devices spread across the house so I generally manage my stationary devices with particular SSIDs for stable connection (basically I don't let them juggle between different APs by themselves). so now there is no such option to set particular band for a particular SSID, now it's like, Primary SSID and Secondary SSID, this results in the devices constantly juggling between the two bands, resulting in streams buffering, calls dropping, VPN connections constantly getting reconnected, etc...

And guess what you can only set the SSID names and passwords through JioHome app, even MyJio app doesn't work while changing the names, it shows all wrong info, doesn't even show all the APs, and if you try to do any change it will say changes will take affect after sometime, but it never does, their whole system is completely messed up rn, all started happening after this update.

Today, I wasted my entire day trying to setup Bridge mode, I was able to enable Bridge mode one time, but Internet didn't work, and then once I rebooted the ONT it never loaded the LMUI again, factory reset it and what I ended up doing is setting up another Router as an AP, so that at least I can get one AP with stable Wifi (or that's what I think, doubtful coz I also faced issues on the ethernet once, after this update).

Will keep updating here, I think I have to reach out to the Jio guys to update my ONT and then try Bridge mode on that, I'm just not sure how will I explain this issue, they will just show me speedtest.net results and call it a day 😂
Having the exact same issues with the recently updated 3.7 version.

I tried raising a helpdesk issue, the engineer arrived and tried a reset(which I already did 4 times) confirming the router needs to be replaced. After 4 hours and several messages to me from customer care complaining about my unavailability, my request was cancelled. I also figured out that if the fiber is disconnected and the router is reset, the router comes back to default WiFi settings. Just after the fiber is reconnected, it gets messed up settings pushed from Jio.

I just ordered an ONU, will try once it arrives tomorrow. In case it doesn't work, I will cancel this connection and order another one with my wife's account.

As I saw only tplink XZ000 G3 works with Jio Fiber which is available here, I also ordered it and waiting, it will probably take another 10 days to arrive.
 
I read on the internet that this new R3.7 firmware merges both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi bands into single wifi and we can not configure them separately like before on the MyJio app, it's now similar to how AirFiber does. Is that correct? 🤔

Exactly, this is the problem, as it merges the bands, the devices keep on disconnecting, switching and go haywire.
 
Jio has been informing their engineers about the ONT firmware update the changes; especially the 2.4/5Ghz wifi bands merge.
