Abstract

This study aims to improve the performance of Information Technology (IT) infrastructure at SMK Negeri 1 Kandis through the implementation of a fiber optic network and hotspot server based on MikroTik with the MikroTik feature. The problems faced by the school include unstable internet connections, suboptimal network management, and the need for internet access that continues to increase along with the development of digital-based learning activities. The method used in this study is NDLC (Network Development Life Cycle), which consists of the stages of analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation of the network system. The implementation results show that the use of fiber optic as a network backbone can increase the speed and stability of the connection. At the same time, the hotspot server provides convenience in user management and internet access settings. The system built is also equipped with monitoring features and bandwidth settings to maintain the efficiency of network usage. By implementing this solution, SMK Negeri 1 Kandis has a more modern, stable, and secure network infrastructure and is able to support the teaching and learning process more effectively and efficiently.
