Reliance JioFi - How to Get Started With Jio's 4G LTE Hotspot

If we go through the broucher the Reliance JioFi before and explained what it is, how it works, the price, and everything else you need to know, and suggest you read that article before coming back here are resuming where you left off. Briefly, with a Reliance Jio JioFi, you'll be able to instantly connect all your devices and not just your phone. If you've got multiple phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices in the house that connect to the Internet, then the JioFi is a great option.

It supports up to 10 devices on the network at once, and you don't need to buy any additional equipment like a router - all you do is buy the JioFi, and set it up in your house, and you're good to go. Here's what you need to know to get started with the Reliance JioFi:

setting up a JioFi is really simple.

First up, take the Reliance Jio SIM card you were given when you bought the device. Insert that into the hotspot's SIM tray.

Next, note down the SSID and password of the unit which is listed next to the SIM tray. Write that down.

Insert the battery and close the back cover. Plug it into the charger and get some battery in there.

Press the Power button on top of the JioFi, until the display lights on top light up.

If you've already activated the Reliance Jio SIM, then you don't need to do anything else - just connect to the Wi-Fi network by searching for the SSID name you wrote down earlier, and log in with the password you noted. You can - and should - change these, by going to the router's admin panel - the details are given in the box, or, when you're connected to the Jio network, go to http://jiofi.local.html/ using your browser, and sign in with the username and password admin/ admin. Change those as well, and the SSID and the password for proper security. That's it, your Reliance JioFi is now fully set up.

Our impressions of the Reliance JioFi

The battery charges up quickly - it's full in three hours, and lasts for around 6 hours of use. We've only had it for a short time and have been using it actively, so we can't comment on the total standby time, but if you're planning on using the Reliance JioFi on the go, the battery should see you through the day's work unless you're using it non-stop.

i phone 8 with with more features

A report from TrendForce affirms some previous rumors we’ve been hearing. The report says Apple will go with a 5.8-inch OLED display and will not be doing a curved display due to yield issues. The physical Home button will go away and will be replaced by more screen real estate.

TrendForce also says that the device will feature 3GB of RAM, the same as the iPhone 7 Plus, and will be available in 64 and 256GB storage configurations. Noting that 3D sensing features will be used for facial recognition and augmented reality applications.
For a while, the iPhone 8 was rumored to have a curved display. TrendForce says the idea was on the table for a long time, but was shelved due to the fragility of the curved edges being cracked. However, the phone will still feature a new display making the transition from LCD to OLED.
The report also restates that this model will be much more expensive than its predecessors. Being $100 ‘or even higher’. The phone will be available in 64 and 256GB storage configurations. It’s unclear if the both models will be above $1000, or just the 256GB configuration. It seems like Apple would want to hit the magical $999 price point for the 64GB model, but this is purely speculation at the moment.
Digitimes reports that Apple is working on its own custom “built-in” fingerprint sensor for its next-generation iPhone. This implies that the company will have the sensor built into the display as the iPhone 8 is rumored to have no bezels whatsoever. Rather than relying on Synaptic or Qualcomm for the technology, Apple will be building the sensor…

Best Headphones 2017

   Apple's wireless AirPods officially hit stores early this year, but if you're on the fence about buying them, that's no reason to delay going cord-free. Plenty of other companies also hopped on the wireless bandwagon with both on-ear statement-makers and more subtle in-ear buds that are worth your consideration. If you've been thinking it's time to upgrade your dingy-looking iPhone EarPods, now is a great time. 

From the signature edge and trendy metallics of Beats to the almost invisible in-ear Bragi Headphones, your options for rocking out to The Weeknd are unlimited. And if you prefer to listen to your tunes while working out, we've got you covered. Many headphone-makers have realized wireless is the way to go when you're working up a sweat and offer secure, yet comfortable, options. And a headphone jack? You won't miss that old thing. 

If you want the most discreet headphone around, look for an in-ear set. These are most like the ones bundles with mobile devices, and use a little rubber tip to create a seal in your ear to block out noise.

It’s this part that also stops them from leaking sound like Apple’s EarPods, which can annoy everyone around you if you like your music loud. Earphones are also a great choice if you don’t have much to spend, with great pairs starting at around £30. You may also see this kind of headphones called an IEM, which stands for inner-ear monitor.

The only real downsides to in-ear headphones are that some people don’t like the feel of the tips in their ear canals, and that most don’t sound quite as large as a full-size pair.

updated provisions to reducewrong communications to helplines

With new arrangements in place from now onwards, phone companies will be able to suspend services to people who repeatedly make unwelcome calls—whether they are offensive, harassing or simply a nuisance—to helplines such as Lifeline. The power will kick in if an initial warning is not heeded.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority has registered a new version of the Communications Alliance Handling of Life Threatening and Unwelcome Communications Code (the code). A review of the code identified a need for specific rules for phone companies to follow when dealing with unwelcome calls made to helplines.

‘Helplines provide the community with crucial support in times of distress,’ said acting ACMA Chairman, Richard Bean. ‘The revised code recognises that services provided to the community by helplines are often time-critical and unwelcome calls can delay their ability to respond to genuine callers.

‘These calls can also affect the call-takers, who are often volunteers,’ he added. ‘The tougher regime introduced by the code sends a strong message that unwelcome calls to helplines will not be tolerated.

‘I thank phone companies for working with Lifeline Australia and law enforcement agencies in developing the new arrangements, and for their commitment to reduce unwelcome communications carried on their networks,’ Richard Bean said.

Lifeline Australia CEO Pete Shmigel welcomed the new version of the code, saying the national charity’s highest priority was supporting its volunteer workforce of more than 4,000 Crisis Supporters.

‘Our highly skilled and compassionate volunteers are on the frontline of Australia’s suicide emergency,’ Mr Shmigel said. ‘The new code will allow them to do more of what they do best—providing caring and non-judgemental support to Australians in crisis and sparing countless individuals, families and whole communities the profound heartache of losing someone to suicide.’

Slow internet: causes & cures

The problem that internet users faces if slow internet. Do your household members ever get SIC—slow internet connections? With 15.7 million[1] Australians now with a home broadband connection, this frustrating ailment is common. So read on, as we uncover the symptoms, causes, and possible cures to help your household get well again.  

What’s a connected home?
A connected home is one that has multiple internet-enabled devices connected wirelessly (or wired) to a modem router, which in turn is connected to the internet.

How connected is a typical Australian home?
If you don’t think your home is that connected, then think again—the typical Australian home currently has just over nine connected devices (up from eight in 2014).

And, it’s just the beginning … in five years’ time, it’s estimated that the number of connected devices per home may increase to a staggering 29.[2]

Currently, the most common type of Australian home internet connection is the Digital Subscriber Line (DSL). The most popular types of DSL are the Asymmetric DSL (ADSL), which typically offers maximum potential download speeds of 8 Mbps, and ADSL2+, which usually offers maximum potential download speeds of 20 Mbps.[3]       
     The symptoms—how can you tell if you’re getting SIC?
Getting SIC in your connected home can be a real issue, and symptoms may include:

home-based businesses experiencing delays in downloading or uploading files
students having difficulty downloading or uploading school assignments
difficulty using virtual classrooms or watching online lectures or webinars
internet streaming services (such as Netflix) or VoIP services (Skype) being disrupted by buffering or experiencing lags.
The causes—what’s making you SIC?
With one internet connection per household, one modem router and many devices downloading (and uploading) data, here’s some reasons household members get SIC:

a slow home-internet connection (occasionally or frequently)
the home router being outdated (or not optimised)
many active users in the home (all using the internet at the same time)
simultaneous use of bandwidth-intensive services (such as video streaming or gaming)
downloading large software updates (for devices and appliances) during peak internet usage times in the home—for example, downloading iOS updates for iPhones and iPads in the evening
interference from other electronic devices—for example, according to Ofcom this could include: microwave ovens, baby monitors, lamps or even Christmas fairy lights![4]
It’s worth noting that a slow home internet connection may result from a number of factors, some of which you can’t control. But other factors, typically within the home, are more likely to be within your control.

The cure—here’s our advice
If you’re sick of getting SIC in your connected home, you could try to improve the performance of your home network, proactively manage use of your home network, or both.

1. Improve the performance of your home network:

Run a speed test on your devices to estimate the upload and download speeds experienced in your home. Try this at different times of the day to factor in internet usage patterns.
Try out the free app Wi-Fi Checker and have a look at this BBC article, which sets out 10 ways to make the wi-fi in your house more powerful.
If you think your internet speeds are too slow, speak to your internet service provider about potentially upgrading to a faster internet plan (if available). You could also consider upgrading to a better router.
If you’re a bit more technically inclined, you could optimise your home network—have a look at this CNET article, which explains how to optimise your home Wi-Fi network.
2. Proactively manage use of your home network:

Limit the number of simultaneous internet users in your home.
Prioritise internet usage and put essential internet activities before entertainment or gaming.
Wait to download large software updates until off-peak times, when fewer people are using the home network.
If you’re a bit more technically inclined, some modern routers enable monitoring and analysis of home network internet activity. To find out more, speak to your internet service provider or visit your local computer store.
