Mastering computer networking cannot rely solely on theory. Students at SMK Darussholihi NW Kalijaga still face limited access to hands-on practical training, even though skills in managing MikroTik devices are essential for entering the workforce or even starting a business in the technology sector. This community service program was designed to bridge that gap through a structured and application-oriented training approach. The main objectives are to enhance students' understanding and technical skills in installing, performing basic configurations, managing bandwidth, and implementing simple network security using MikroTik. The program was carried out in three stages: first, lectures and demonstrations to explain core concepts and show configuration examples; second, hands-on practice with instructor guidance using both simulation tools and actual hardware; and third, evaluation through simple network building trials and problem-solving discussions. The expected outcomes include improved digital competence in network administration, the development of a practical guide module as a learning resource, and the availability of video tutorials for self-paced learning. With these skills, students are expected not only to be more confident in pursuing certification exams, but also better prepared to meet the demands of the industry and the business world in the digital era.
