JioFi devices are portable WiFi hotspot devices. These devices are provided to the users by Reliance Digital which is powered by LYF. JioFi devices have the capability to provide with high-speed data. They also have the capacity to connect up to 10 devices simultaneously. This means that 10 devices can use the data provided by these devices at the same time.
If you keep your connection open, many unknown users can get connected to your WiFi. This will result in low-speed provided to your device. To prevent this, you can use a password and restrict the users who can use your WiFi connection. Since the human brain has volatile memory, there are chances that you might forget the password yourself and thereby not be able to use your own WiFi connection. In such a situation, all you can do is recover the password of your JioFi router.
Also, if a lot of people have got to know the password to your JioFi router and you want all the previous users to stop using your WiFi, you can simply change the password of your JioFi router. This will result in barring all the users who had your previous password. Then, you can choose whom you wish to grant your password and whom you don’t.
Hence, here we are going to discuss the methods and steps using which you can either recover or reset the password of your JioFi router.
