- Block unauthorised users/devices connected to your Jio Home Gateway (Router)
- When a device gets connected to your Jio Home Gateway (Router), it gets added to the list of paired devices. You will also get an SMS on your Registered Mobile Number. You can view the list of paired devices in the ‘My Device’ option here.
- In case you wish to remove any device, tap on ‘Block devices’, and select those devices that are unknown to you. Only allow those devices to which you want to provide access. This feature can be used to avoid unauthorised data usage.

- Using the WPS option wisely
- WPS termed as 'Wi-Fi Protected Setup' is an easy-to-use feature where a Wi-Fi device can be connected to your Jio Home Gateway (Router) by pressing the physical WPS switch at the back of Jio Home Gateway (Router). While it is simple to use this feature, at the same time, the user can connect to your Jio Home Gateway (Router) directly (if they have physical access to your Jio Home Gateway (Router)). Please ensure if this feature is not being used, you can turn off this feature by logging in to MyJio and using the ‘My Device’ option.
- Hide your Wi-Fi name from others
- My Jio also provides you with the functionality to turn off the visibility of SSID. This feature is very helpful when in case you don’t want anyone to connect to your Jio Home Gateway (Router) Wi-Fi ID. When you turn off the visibility any user (new device) who will try to search for a Wi-Fi network will not be able to see your Jio Home Gateway (Router) SSID. However, please note that the already connected devices will remain connected to your Jio Home Gateway (Router) SSID. You can hide SSIDs (Wi-Fi Username) by logging in to MyJio and using ‘Advance Setting’ under the ‘My Device’ option. Use the toggle button to hide/unhide the SSIDs.
