1. users cant access to WAN settings
2. there is no option to disable ipv6 all together.
3. ipv6 DNS is till enforce even if ipv6 dhcp mode set to none.

I had complained to Jiocare on twitter on not able to use Vowifi and they asked me to share details. Seems theirIPsec passthrough is broken in the router. Update -even with new firmware, unable to use the same.

Hi Guys,

I have the old white color Jiofiber modem. Their sales guy came to my house today and asked me if I want to upgrade to the new modem. He said I will have to pay Rs.1500 as the security deposit, and the Rs.4500 paid earlier for white ONT will be refunded.

Is this advisable to upgrade? Has anyone gone through the process?

Please advise.

Regards,

Dhiraj

i read somewhere in forum that the white modem which Jio initially provided to be the best one compared to all other modems jio has been providing, so better to stick with it unless u r getting something new specifically.
P.S. not my personal experience, just read in forum about this

I am not sure what to do. Maybe he is trying to cancel my old connection and register me as a fresh sale ??

And just today, I downgraded the plan from Gold to 399 plan. Not sure if he will give a dual band router with my existing plan or single band. I have asked him for more details, will post it here.

Yes he's doing as you suspect, as they cannot just swap the the old router with the new one unless there is some problem for which there needs to be a complaint register with jio care for the router swap and there won't to be a refund in this case but your case is he is trying to register you as a new customer and complete his sales target, if I remember correctly then the same thing happened with @socrates 's friend , they tried to cool off this same scam.

@Xposed Thanks, thats what I think, but would it also not mean that I will be saving Rs.3000? They will refund Rs.4500 for my old ONT and provide a new ONT for 1500. Hence I was trying to find out if there's any difference between the 2 ONTs. Sure if white ont is superior, I dont want to terminate that one. But if they are both the same, may as well get my 3k back from them

Their new routers are crap stick to what you have.

Well as per the feedback on the forum , the world one seems to be the superior most on offer and not to mention that it being the oldest gets updated the least and has some additional features. There's a reason why the new ones are cheaper
