A JioFi is a device that allows you to access the internet using 4G LTE technology. You can use it to connect your computer, phone, or other devices to the internet.

There are three methods you can use to connect your JioFi to a PC:

1. Firstly, make sure that your JioFi device is turned on and the battery is charged.
2. Secondly, open the WiFi settings on your PC from the window menu and look for a network with the name “JioFi“.
3. Once you find the network, connect to it and enter the password (which can be found on the back of your JioFi device).
4. Enter the username and password (which can be found in the manual that came with your JioFi device) and click “Login“.

How to connect JioFi to a PC through USB Tethering?

The method of connecting the Jiofi using USB is very useful while using the internet on a computer because most desktop computers don’t have a wireless option.

Although every PC must have multiple USB ports, you can easily connect your device with a computer and access the internet.

The key thing to remember is that while connecting your device to a PC, you can also access the WIFI option on the device. For example, if you have a mobile, tablet, or laptop, then it will show you the option of a wifi connection while your device is connected to the computer.

So this method is very useful to connect multiple devices including computers at the same time.

Moreover, when your device connects to your computer through USB, it will also charge, so you can fill the device’s battery as well.

By following the steps below, you can use your Jiofi as a portable Wi-Fi router to connect your desktop computer to the internet.

Here are the steps on how to connect your JioFi device to a PC using USB tethering:

• Plug one end of the USB cable into the JioFi device and the other end into the computer.
• On your JioFi device, press and hold the power button for two seconds to turn on the device.
• The power LED will light up and stay solid green when the device is turned on successfully.
• Once your JioFi is turned on, you will automatically connect to the internet and you can use the internet immediately. On the window taskbar at the bottom right corner, you will notice a USB-connected internet connection which means you are not connected successfully.

Additionally, if you want to see the device settings, you can easily do that by entering the IP address http://jiofi.local.html/index.htm in the browser bar. Here you will find the other Wi-Fi-connected clients.

Connect your JioFi device by using a Wi-Fi USB Adapter

If you are connecting to a device that doesn’t have Wi-Fi and nor do they have a USB option, then the easiest way to connect the device is with the Wi-Fi USB adapter. You can use this method with any device that has a USB port.

Here’s how you can connect your JioFi device to a PC using a Wi-Fi USB adapter:

• First, you need to buy a Wi-Fi USB adapter from any offline or online store at a cheap price.
• Once you have the adapter, you need to configure it by installing the device drivers on your PC.
