Abstract

Desa Motu is an area that experiences limited internet access due to the unavailability of conventional ISP services and weak cellular signal coverage. This study aims to develop a community-based RT/RW Net network system to provide internet access by utilizing Starlink as the main ISP and distributing connectivity through networking devices such as MikroTik routers, access points, switches, and fiber optic media. Network testing was conducted by measuring download and upload speeds using network testing ap-plications, evaluating connection stability through latency (ping) measurements, and assessing signal coverage at several user locations. The results show that the implemented RT/RW Net network is able to provide a stable internet connection with consistent speeds at different testing times, as well as optimal signal distribution across multiple measurement points. The authentication system using vouchers, PPPoE, hotspot login, and MAC Binding functions properly, and the free educational access feature also operates effectively. These findings indicate that the RT/RW Net–based community network model can serve as an affordable and sustainable solution for expanding internet access in rural areas.
