Nobody has actually answered OP’s question - I’m using a regular Jio SIM in my 5G CPE modem on band n78 and getting a solid 2.4 Gbps here in Navi Mumbai, at first just like OP it didn’t work - At all - But worked just fine in every other 5G capable phone like my personal iPhone…
The problem is Jio blocks non-mobile phone TTL (using Deep Packet Inspection - Yes it surprised me too they make such effort as DPI is expensive), so you have to go into the modem / router settings and change the TTL so Jio thinks it’s a phone and not a CPE modem / hotspot etc, then you get unlimited full speed 5G standalone for a few rupees a month… Last month I used 1.4 TB of data according to Home Assistant.
Not all modems are capable of this… Personally I bit the bullet after a decade of paying for messy NAS boxes, Plex servers, router and modem upgrades every few years etc and so I just built my own combo modem / router / firewall / switch / NAS / media server using an old Intel NUC and an 8 port 2.5Gbps switch running free ... One tiny box replaced an entire rack of stuff using some virtualisation in Proxmox. Hardest part was getting the M.2 5G SIM module, but Mouser are already selling thousands of a few types wholesale in India, so you don’t have to buy Huawei stuff from China via AliExpress and deal with the import hassle
You can also just use TLS 1.3 but that depends on the devices you have on your WiFi network at home.

This is some what common with ISPs outside of India where they may throttle traffic with lower TTL. They do that to enforce the contract and I guess jio has taken inspiration from it.
You don't need a special/supported 5g modem to do this. You can have a firewall rule on the router which increases ttl for traffic and that should be able to get around it.

@anmolbhard004 which mobile is used?
I have Honeywell High-Speed Type C to RJ45 adaptor that worked just once along with Samsung A34. Since then, the phone just restarts whenever I connect to the adaptor.

Hello guys. I got Oppo CPE T1a router. When I use jio sim everything works good in my laptop and iPhone but strangely when Samsung TV is connected to the router it doesn't work. TV says internet connected but no apps able to access it. Simply Network Error message come when I open YouTube or any other app in TV. Similar in my S23 phone some websites which uses Chats like Olx chat doesn't load other sites works fine. Any idea what's the issue here?
