    So what can he do? In fact, what can guys like Rafiq do??
    Well, there are two things to keep in mind-
    A. Short-Term Immediate Solution
    B. Large-Scale initiatives
    These days almost every nation has good mobile internet coverage. Rafiq can use that to his advantage as internet service providers don't usually cover rural areas. Basically, he can buy a 4G router, a LAN cable, and insert a sim in the router. Buying a
    4G modem from Grammen Phone is another good option to consider. Implementing these methods will give him a better internet connection. So this is the immediate solution.
    However, a poverty-stricken guy like Rafiq will have to spend a decent amount of money every month to maintain the whole. This is where his teachers or classmates must step in. They can raise a fund and make sure that he has everything he needs. This is the classic ALL FOR ONE ONE FOR ALL METHOD. It has to be implemented all over the country on a large scale.  less

    the same problem. I was in my village in 22 days. There was no proper
    network. So i was thinking about this solution
    
    
    
    Actually you can get internet access on Android without data plan or WiFi. Fast, simple and unlimited.
    
    Most of USB OTG-capable devices would have no problems with USB Ethernet adapters, at least RINDS-compatible ones.
    
    It's fast - you could easily saturate USB 2.0 with Gigabit Ethernet
    adapter, that's up to 480Mbps. It’s simple - if the network you're
    plugging into has DHCP (most do), it's just plug-and-play. It's
    unlimited - usually there's no traffic accounting on copper ports, at
    least on small networks. And a lot of Ethernet ports available has an
    internet access, be sure to choose one with greater speed.
    
    So, all you need is an USB Ethernet adapter, internet-connected Ethernet
    port at a router (it may look as wall socket with RJ-45 receptacle) and
    a patch cable long enough to get yourself comfortably seated. Enjoy!  less

    network community to share his ideas and problems. This will solve half of his situation.
    
    
    In his village, he is a shining star. There must be other
    students facing the same problems. He
    can influence people of his similar age and the local government like Union
    Chairman or Union Members or the influential persons. At the local, he should
    build a physical platform (maybe a library or a career development club) where
    those audiences will be invited.
    
    
    The club or library can be a hub to study, and establishing a
    broadband internet zone with those audiences will cut the cost for individuals.
    Also, this platform can attract outside attention from his urban community.
    
    
    The external audience will be his university faculties,
    dedicated university clubs, local and national newspapers, classmates, and
    network companies like Robi axiata or Grameenphone to rethink the issue.

    1. He can apply for financial assistance/student loan from his university. Then try using 3G sim and modem of any mobile operators (GP,Airtel,Teletalk).It would be better if
    he considers the coverage and network condition of his area before buying.
    
    2. There will be other students in his village who are facing Poor Internet conncetion for sure.So what Rafiq can do is take the initiative to make a group/community uniting all the students from his village and requesting the Village/Union Chairman to take steps bringing Fixed Wireless internet or Satellite Internet for the villagers.
    
    Not only Rafiq but students all over the country even in Dhaka face poor internet connection during online
    classes. Students need an internet connection that’s not only fast enough to handle any assignment or software program their courses require but also cheap
    enough to fit into their budget. So mobile operators in our country should offer affordable STUDENT INTERNET PACKAGES....    less

In the village, there is lots of obstacle to the mobile networks, such as trees, multitude house and so on. But in terms of a certain height, he will you can get enough network speed.
    1. He can make a Ladder to get the height to reach network level, many freelancers works in this method.
    2. Make a network booster like a dish antenna network booster by the semiconductor material. or Simply buy it from daraz.
    3. Use a Pocket router or mobile device at a certain height and in an open space, then open the hotspot and get internet access via wifi system.
    4. Best way He can borrow the internet via coaxial cable dishline from local ISP if there a dish cable network.  less

    As Rafiq got no money, he can lend some money from his students. He can use that money to buy a broadband connection. Thus he can continue his classes and his tuitions as well.
    
    He can also gather more people like him who are facing the same problem and together they can buy a broadband connection and router. Which will result in solving everyone's problem.
    
    He can also get a student loan from his Univesity.  less

    -A Pocket Router and a good quality USB extension cable can solve his problem. To get network inside his home, he can place the router on the bamboo-head or as high as possible, using a USB extension cable of 10 meters or as required. The router must be covered with waterproof something like polythene.
    -GP Pocket Router supports all SIMs. The SIM which provides best network in his village, he can purchase that SIM's data package from the retailer at least at one-third lower price.
    -For the first month, the full cost including the data package, can be up to a maximum of 3500 takas. If Rafiq does not have this amount, he can request to get the tuition fees in advance as the student is known to him. Otherwise, he can borrow the money for a month from somewhere reliable.  less

    1.Getting broadband connection, & connecting it to a router that will cost 2-3 thousand tk for setup and 5-800 tk monthly.
    2. If it's not possible then, second option is buying a router (which can be connected to a modem), a modem and a sim. Thus he can connect the sim to the router through modem. This will cost 2-4000 for set up and 500-1000৳ monthly. This need to be placed in a tall tree or on top of a bamboo stick where the network is good. As connecting electricity at that high place will be tough, he can attach a battery based power system which will backup for minimum 3-4 hours.
    Obviously, he can share his connection to other people who need it and thus reducing the cost to bear by himself.  less

Though this device is a bit expensive (10,000 TK), it has no additional cost for set up. It is free of all the hassle of set up. He will also be able to share the connection with a good number of neighbours. Also, each university is now offering it's students 'student loan' in this pandemic, so he can take a loan and go for it easily.

    Rafiq is a University student who earns for himself. Because of Covid's situation, he has to move to his native village. The issues start from here. All income source has stopped.
    
    The situation is, Rafiq does not have a proper internet connection and as a result, he is not able to continue his tuition along with his own classes. Because of his poor financial condition, he must need tuition. An adequate network at the home is the major issue in this case. As he is in the village, the electricity cut-off possibility is high. So, we cannot suggest him for broadband or wifi connection. So, the solution could be a POCKET ROUTER.  less
