This JioFi troubleshooting is a very effective way to resolve minor problems like connectivity problem, hanging problem, or speed problem, JioFi not working or turning ON, or the like. JoiFi reset is similar to phone hard reset in which you reset your phone to clear all bugs from your device and get it back to factory conditions.

To hard reset JioFi, remove its flip cover but don’t remove battery. You can find a reset button, you would need a screwdriver or the like thing to press that reset button.

Just grab a screwdriver and put it into the reset slot and press and hold the button until your JioFi router restarts then release then button.

Now check your JioFi device. It should work properly now. I tried this JioFi troubleshooting and most of the times it works seamlessly.

JioFi not working or turning ON

If your JioFi not working or turning ON then it might mean that it’s time to change JioFi battery. Most probably your JioFi battery has been exhausted completely and requires replacement.

Also, it might be possible your JioFi charging jack got damaged. To know try this solution:

  • Remove flip cover of your JioFi 3 or whichever you have.
  • Remove its battery.
  • Put flip cover back but don’t insert battery.
  • Now connect your charging adapter to your JioFi dongle and turn it ‘ON’. Note: JioFi can be turned on without battery. In fact, my JioFi router’s battery is damaged and I have been using it without battery since then.
  • If it works or turns ‘ON’ then it means you need to change your device’s battery. If this is the case then you can use it without battery or can buy a new JioFi battery.
  • If it does not turn ON without battery then there is some other hardware issue which could be resolved by visiting nearest customer care center.

Warning: To prevent electric shock, make sure to put JioFi flip cover, before you connect it to charging adapter..

JioFi Software Update

This is the final solution from my side. If above JioFi troubleshooting do not work, you would need to visit nearest Reliance JIO customer care store to update firmware version of your device. You can tell them the problems you’re facing with your JioFi router and they’ll help you appropriately.

That’s it. Above three fixes could help you fix Reliance JioFi problems if you still unable to find a solution then visit nearest Reliance JIO store.
