A good and efficient network infrastructure design must be considered when first building a computer network system. The position of buildings that are far from each other sometimes becomes a separate problem that results in the quality and performance of computer network signal services not being optimal. The implementation of the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) on the STTM campus network infrastructure will be combined with the use of the Peer Connection Queue (PCQ) method, which is one of the features of the Mikrotik device. The use of the PCQ method aims to optimize internet bandwidth, through a mechanism for distributing bandwidth evenly to each user that has been set on the management bandwidth, also we can observe the throughput, delay, and jitter of the built network infrastructure. The study was carried out following the stages of designing schemes and network topology, designing and configuring network infrastructure, then in the last stage testing connectivity and performance was done through several clients connected to the network. The data obtained from the test results will be analyzed and then evaluated whether it is by the expected target of 0% packet loss, delay below 150ms, and jitter under 75ms.
