  • Jio Fiber Usability Issue can not view password

    So I have a Jio Fiber at home. When I had to add new mobile devices to the Wifi it was easy, use the Share password feature on every phone and let the new phone scan it.

    Easy

    However, this was not possible as i got a new Windows Laptop, I could not Scan the code and some Android phones do not display the password.

    I thought it will be easy, I can just login to the Router Admin URL and view the password and type it in my laptop.

    To my surprise, I can only CHANGE password from the router admin Not View already set password.

    Now, Just to setup 1 new device, I have Only 1 option.

    Create a new password which disconnects all devices, the device that I am using as well and then Add All Devices again to the same network.

    Going to Jio support was of no help, the robots designed to keep human support away just told me instructions on how to change password.

  • I had never thought hiking trails are “designed”

    Vox video Designing Hiking Trails

    I have trekked a lot but never imagined that Trails are “Designed”… Assuming trails in India are mostly desire, accessible lines (keywords from the video) rather than Designed ones…..

    Watch the video to get curious enough. 🙂
