How to change SSID (Network Name) of Jiofi



SSID stands for S-Service S-Set ID-Identifier. This is a unique dataset broadcasted by a device to identify its wifi, hence it is generally known as Network Name or Wifi Name. When you purchase a new Jiofi, the SSID name will be a combination of alphanumerical which is listed on the outer package box of new jiofi device  and in case if you have lost the box, open the battery and you will find these details on the jiofi device.

Usually, its very difficult to remember the SSID name thus making it difficult to connect from a list of SSID's shown in public areas. Hence, you might wanna change this to a easily remembered words like name of your close family member or name of your company etc.

Procedure to Change Jiofi SSID

Follow the below listed step by step procedure for successfully changing the default jiofi network name to a name of your choice.

Step-1: Start your Jiofi device and connect to a PC or a mobile by using the wifi SSID and password. (Note: These can be seen from the outer package box of new jiofi device  and in case if you have lost the box, open the battery and you will find these details on the jiofi device).
