<![CDATA[The rapid advancement of information and communication technology has driven educational institutions to optimize their technological infrastructure to support academic and research activities. One crucial element in education, particularly in the Computer Engineering and Networking Research Room at Politeknik Negeri Jakarta, is the availability of reliable internet connectivity. Wireless technology, such as Wi-Fi, provides a flexible and easily accessible solution. However, its effectiveness depends significantly on proper design and the implementation of appropriate routing protocols to ensure optimal performance. In the field of computer networking, routing protocols play a vital role in determining the most efficient route for data transmission. The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol is widely recognized for its ability to select the optimal path based on metrics such as path cost and speed. By implementing OSPF, Wi-Fi network management can become more efficient, ensuring stable and reliable data transmission even in complex network traffic scenarios. This study aims to design a Wi-Fi network utilizing the OSPF protocol in the Computer Engineering and Networking Research Room at Politeknik Negeri Jakarta. The anticipated outcome is a network that not only meets the research requirements but also serves as a model for adoption by other educational institutions.]]>
