Purchased it from the very same link. And, I'm using Jio.

I am using a Airtel branded Huawei E5172 for the same purpose, works great. I also have a Airtel branded ZTE MF29 as a backup. I got it off Olx/Quikr for Rs 1000 or so each and unlocked it.

Huawei E5172 can be easily unlocked -- Unlock Airtel E5172Bs-925 4G LTE Router
ZTE MF 29 I just got the unlock code from eBay for less than 2 USD

I got 2 Jiofi devices (ver 2 and 4) and looking for some way to share the internet to my entire premises and tried to using both devices to get double speed over my whole LAN/WiFi network.

1. (Cheapest one) Use your old wifi router in repeater mode (if already have one) or buy something cheap like Tenda 301 (999 INR), use it's LAN port fot internet output purpose. This was what I done months ago and working totally fine.

2. Buy a 4G Sim based router with RJ45 output connectors, which are easily available in market, few are:
A. TP-Link Archer MR200 AC750 Wireless Dual Band 4G LTE Router - 6599 INR
B. TP-Link Archer MR400 AC1200 Wireless Dual Band 4G LTE Router - 7999 INR
C. HUAWEI B310s-927 - 3515 INR

3. Get advanced routers which support JIOFI dongles USB port as internet connection which some advance features:
A. Asus RT-AC58U AC1300 Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router - 5790 INR
B. Asus AC1900 RT AC68U Dual-Band Wireless Gigabit Router - 13560 INR
C. There are many more routers available in market but I did not tested, some worked for someone, not for other, don't know WTH.

All options output internet to LAN, then I added option 1 and option2(A) to TP-Link TL-R470T+ WAN ports and passed the combined output to option 3(B) and everything working smoothly and fast to whole network. You might don't need load balancer thing, it's just what I did.

Note: Prices/Model version may change over time. (Current Date 30 Oct 2018)

I've been using that router for over a year and it works perfectly for me. It comes with four ethernet ports too.

Did u face any problem importing it due to custom duty etc...

None. It arrived in around a month and I did not have to pay any taxes.

You can get cheap router with 300mbps speed and use a option called wds bridging. Search on YouTube you will find tons of videos.Then connect your device to router through ethernet cable and access internet.

Where from does the outdoor CPE gets power? Is it from the router? If it is from the router, which type of router do I need?

I believe it uses poe and you have to use a poe injector in order to deliver power.
