<![CDATA[In the digital era, internet connectivity is a vital element in supporting the learning process, especially in educational institutions that have different operational characteristics and resource limitations than industrial networks. This study examines the application of a bandwidth management system by utilizing the User Manager on the Mikrotik RB951 Hotspot Server network. The main goal of the research is to optimize bandwidth distribution so that internet access can be managed efficiently, support online learning needs and improve the quality of services in schools. The research method refers to the Network Development Life Cycle (NDLC) framework used to design, implement, and evaluate network solutions thoroughly, tailoring the system to the unique conditions and demands of the educational environment. This study succeeded in distributing bandwidth for administration staff a maximum of 5.5 Mbps per user, teachers a maximum of 1.3 Mbps per user and a maximum of 0.06 Mbps per user for students each. This is considered to have been able to provide practical strategies and innovative solutions for optimizing bandwidth management at test sites with a limit value that can be adjusted according to the capacity of providing available internet services, so as to increase the effectiveness of network use in educational institutions. Thus, these findings have the potential to open up opportunities for the development of digital infrastructure in the education sector and make a real contribution to efforts to improve the quality of learning in the digital era.]]>
