How to get your free Jio Set-top box?

If you have bought a Jio Fiber connection, recently or you have bought it some time, ago, then 

  • Go to your MyJio app
  • Sign up for a paid plan of your choice via the MyJio app. You can pick a monthly, quarterly, or annual plan.
  • Once you've made the payment, the MyJio app will display a banner on the main screen that will let you schedule an appointment for your set-top box installation, they will deliver at your home as soon as possible.
  • You can also visit a nearby Reliance Jio retail store to pick up your free Jio Fiber set-top box, but before heading out to check if they've got one in stock for you.

If you are going to buy a new Jio-Fiber connection, you will get Jio Set-top box installed with your JioFiber Connection.

Note: Jio Set-top box works with your JioFiber broadband connection means it works with the internet so your JioFiber router must be connected to your Jio Set-top box using the Internet Lan wire. Also, you might want to minimize the distance between Router and set-top box.

How to install Jio set-top box?

Usually, Reliance Jio will send a technician to install set-top box for you, so you don't need to worry about it and it will only take 10 minutes for technician to install it.

You just need a Lan wire to connect your Jio Fiber router with Jio Set-top box and an HDMI cable to connect jio set-top box with your TV.

You will be getting both HDMI cable and Lan Wire inside Jio Set-top box, but Lan wire is not so long, which you get inside the box so installing Jio Fiber Router near your TV would be ideal for you or you can get more Lan Wire.
