Jio (India) is super obnoxious in the fact that their own router is locked down hard. Now you cant even change your DNS. I have suggested few people to bypass this limitation by removing the router as dhcp and using pihole for that. That works but don't know for how long. The pathetic thing is their router does not even allow bridging mode. Fuck jio.



You can always put your own router in front of the ISP provided crap, pretty common to have to do that.


Agreed. But that is another expense and essentially you are telling millions of people to buy a second device when the first one is capable of doing just that. Only the ISP has locked shit down. The idea should be to force ISPs to keep stuff open, unless the devices are junk and you definitely need a replacement. That is not the case here. Their router is pretty capable, they just want to control people. Thats bad


While not for the average consumer, most routers are easily jailbroken. They aren't locked to anywhere near the extent a mobile phone is.
