Serius.... HP bisa menjadi ISP

Summary

In this video, the presenter demonstrates how to create a simple mini Internet Service Provider (ISP) using a smartphone, the RB941-2 device, and basic configurations. The video covers the process of setting up a hotspot on a phone to share internet access, then configuring the RB941-2 router and mikrotik settings to distribute the connection to multiple devices. The setup allows users to provide internet services to their neighbors, turning a monthly data plan into a potential small business opportunity. The video also explains how to bridge devices and configure IP settings to ensure proper connectivity.

Takeaways

• 😀 The tutorial demonstrates how to create a simple Mini ISP using a mobile phone and MikroTik RB941-2 router.
• 😀 The mobile phone acts as the internet source by enabling its hotspot with WPA2 PSK security and a defined password.
• 😀 The mobile hotspot can support up to 8 connected devices, allowing multiple people to access the internet.
• 😀 MikroTik RB941-2 router is configured to receive the mobile hotspot's signal and distribute it to connected devices.
• 😀 The router is reset to factory settings and set up to function as a station, connecting to the mobile hotspot for internet access.
• 😀 The router's wireless security settings are updated to match the mobile hotspot's password, ensuring secure connections.
• 😀 The setup allows internet sharing with multiple devices, including a laptop or PC, which automatically receives an IP address from the router's DHCP server.
• 😀 DHCP configuration on the MikroTik router assigns IP addresses to connected devices within a specified range (e.g., 192.168.37.2 to 192.168.37.3).
• 😀 Once set up, the router can serve up to 4 devices, making it a low-cost, home-based internet sharing solution.
• 😀 The system can be monetized by charging neighbors for internet access (e.g., Rp 50,000 per month per connection), making it financially viable.
• 😀 The tutorial is intended for IT students or practitioners, particularly those in vocational schools (SMK), to learn hands-on internet networking skills.

Q & A

What is a Mini ISP, and how is it related to the tutorial?

A Mini ISP is a small-scale internet service provider setup, where you use a mobile phone's internet connection to provide internet access to others. In the tutorial, it explains how to turn a mobile phone into an internet-sharing device with the help of a MikroTik router, providing internet access to neighbors or multiple users.

What equipment is required to set up a Mini ISP in this tutorial?

The essential equipment needed includes a mobile phone with an active internet plan, a MikroTik RB941-2 router, and a laptop for configuration.

What is the role of the MikroTik router in this setup?

The MikroTik router is used to receive the internet connection from the mobile hotspot and distribute it to other devices on the network. It also manages the connection by assigning IP addresses and providing security features.

How do you configure your mobile phone to act as an internet service provider?

To configure the mobile phone, you activate the mobile data, then enable the hotspot feature, set up WPA2-PSK security, and set a password. You can also limit the number of allowed connections, typically up to 8 devices in this setup.

What is the significance of setting the MikroTik router's wireless mode to 'station'?

Setting the MikroTik router's wireless mode to 'station' allows the router to connect to the mobile phone’s hotspot as a client, receiving the internet signal from the phone to be shared with other devices.

Why is it important to create a security profile in the MikroTik router configuration?

Creating a security profile is necessary to match the WPA2-PSK password set on the mobile hotspot, ensuring that the MikroTik router can securely connect to the phone’s hotspot without unauthorized access.

What is the purpose of the DHCP server in this configuration?

The DHCP server in the MikroTik router automatically assigns IP addresses to the devices connected to the network, ensuring proper routing of internet traffic to each connected device.

How does the 'Bridge' function work in this setup?

The 'Bridge' function combines different network interfaces (such as Ethernet and wireless ports) into a single logical network. This allows devices connected to the MikroTik router via different ports to communicate and share the internet connection.

What are the advantages of using a MikroTik router for this Mini ISP setup?

MikroTik routers offer flexibility, reliability, and advanced features like routing, firewall configuration, and security management. This makes them ideal for small-scale ISP setups, providing control over internet distribution and network management.

How can this Mini ISP setup be turned into a business opportunity?

This Mini ISP setup can be monetized by offering internet access to neighbors for a monthly fee. For example, charging around Rp 50,000 per month per household can generate profit while covering the cost of the internet data plan and hardware expenses.
