 To block websites using your Jio Fiber router, you can usually set up **Parental Controls** or a **Domain Filter** through the router's web interface. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

### 1. **Access the Jio Fiber Router Settings**

   - Connect your device (computer, smartphone, etc.) to the Jio Fiber network.

   - Open a web browser and go to the router’s admin page by typing **`192.168.29.1`** in the address bar (this is the default IP for Jio Fiber routers).

   - Press **Enter**.

### 2. **Log in to the Router**

   - You’ll be prompted for a username and password. By default:

     - **Username**: `admin`

     - **Password**: `Jiocentrum` (unless you or the ISP has changed it).

   - If these credentials don’t work, check your Jio Fiber router or user manual for the correct login information.

### 3. **Navigate to Security Settings or Parental Controls**

   - Once logged in, look for a section like **"Parental Control"**, **"Access Control"**, or **"Security"**. The exact location of these settings may vary depending on your router’s firmware version.

### 4. **Block Specific Websites (Domain Filtering)**

   - Under the **Parental Controls** or **Access Control** section, find an option for **Domain Filtering** or **Website Blocking**.

     - **Domain Filtering** allows you to block specific websites by their URL or domain name.

     - Add the domain (e.g., `facebook.com`, `youtube.com`) to the block list.

   - You may also have the option to set a **schedule** for when these websites should be blocked.

### 5. **Save the Settings**

   - After adding the websites you want to block, make sure to **Save** or **Apply** the settings to activate the filters.

### 6. **Test the Block**

   - Once you've applied the changes, test by attempting to visit the blocked websites from any device connected to the Jio Fiber network. The websites should be inaccessible.

### 7. **Restart Router (if needed)**

   - In some cases, you might need to **restart your router** for the changes to take effect.

### **Alternative: Using OpenDNS or DNS Filtering**

If your router doesn’t have built-in website blocking, another option is to use a third-party DNS service like **OpenDNS** to block websites at the network level.

1. **Sign up for OpenDNS**:

   - Go to [OpenDNS](https://www.opendns.com/home-internet-security/) and create a free account.

   

2. **Change DNS Settings on Jio Fiber Router**:

   - Go to the **Internet/WAN Settings** in your Jio Fiber router.

   - Change the **DNS server addresses** to:

     - Primary DNS: `208.67.222.222`

     - Secondary DNS: `208.67.220.220`

   - Save the changes.

3. **Configure Web Filtering**:

   - After setting OpenDNS, log in to your OpenDNS dashboard and configure the **web filtering** settings.

   - You can choose categories of websites to block (e.g., adult content, social media) or add specific domains manually.

### Notes:

- **DNS-based filtering** is bypassable by users who manually change their DNS settings on devices.

- **Router-based blocking** is more robust, especially if you prevent users from changing their DNS settings.

This method helps you manage web access for everyone connected to your Jio Fiber network.
