The increasing demand for internet access in the workplace requires efficient bandwidth management to maintain network quality. This study aims to improve the Quality of Service (QoS) at the LPP RRI News Center by implementing the Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB) method on a MikroTik Router. The research applies the Network Development Life Cycle (NDLC) approach, consisting of analysis, design, implementation, simulation, and monitoring stages. The results show that HTB implementation significantly enhances network performance, increasing throughput from 870–1120 Kbps to 1,489–2,615 Kbps, while reducing delay and jitter to below 5 ms, and lowering packet loss from 3–7% to 0%. The HTB method also ensures fair bandwidth allocation among divisions, maintains connection stability during peak hours, and supports smoother broadcasting and news distribution processes. Therefore, HTB proves to be an effective method for optimizing bandwidth management and is recommended for broader implementation across LPP RRI’s network infrastructure.
