Abstract

This research is expected to provide solutions to improve the performance and reliability of the WiFi network at STIMIK Sinar Nusantara, thus supporting teaching and learning activities and enhancing the quality of education. By comparing the quality of WiFi networks between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, it aims to shed light on the differences and advantages of each frequency band. Furthermore, the findings of this research can be beneficial for the design of future networks, helping network designers to better understand the importance of frequency management in network infrastructure planning. This research employs an experimental method by testing QoS parameters (throughput, delay, and packet loss) as well as reliability (connection and uptime) at both frequencies. The results of the research indicate that the 5 GHz frequency provides better QoS performance and reliability compared to 2.4 GHz. This research concludes that the 5 GHz frequency could be a solution to improve the WiFi network quality at STIMIK Sinar Nusantara
