ABSTRACT
This document presents the implementation of a network infrastructure study aimed at providing free WiFi connectivity to the residents of Barangay Sto. Rosario - Kanluran in Pateros. The study aims to enhance digital connectivity and accessibility within the community. The document discusses the planning, execution, and equipment, including access points, cables, and software tools. Emphasis on user-friendly interfaces, like portals, and implemented security measures. This study aims to create a secure and reliable network infrastructure and free-wifi connectivity. Barangay Sto. Rosario - Kanluran Researchers and barangay officials collaborate in acquiring equipment and configuring the network, highlighting their joint efforts. The researchers conducted the simulation, testing, and implementation of this study. using the Network Development Life Cycle methodology. The researchers proposed an enhanced network topology to create a new one since Barangay Sto. Rosario - Kanluran does not have an existing one. They utilize the TP-Link Omada application for access point management. The study's benefits include free WiFi access within range, requiring voucher codes from barangay officials. The document emphasizes the potential positive impact on connectivity, information access, and digital opportunities. Following the free wifi connectivity across zone 1 to zone 3, and simulations, the researchers have successfully implemented on-site. The researchers successfully configured the access points, switches, and the Omada Controller to provide network connectivity across Barangay Sto. Rosario - Kanluran. The end devices of the barangay were spread across Zone 1 and Zone 3, including locations outside the barangay, such as M.R. Flores St. The researchers implemented a captive portal to ensure security and restrict unauthorized access to the network. Additionally, they configured the firewall using the Omada Controller to enhance network protection.
