Abstract In today's technological environment, the internet is the most resourceful repository of knowledge. Students at all stages of school may use the internet to obtain a wide range of information. That is, there is direct relationship between internet access and instructional resources. Using Cisco packet tracer, this research assesses VLAN for the establishment or extension of LAN at Sefwi Bekwai Senior High School (SEBESS). The study first established a link between internet and students’ learning by examining network availability and accessibility at the Senior High School. The investigation was carried out utilising a cross-sectional design, a questionnaire, and interview methodologies on a sample of 263 people. The Pearson Correlation analysis approach was performed by the researcher to determine if pupils' learning was linearly connected with online resources. The study determined that availability and accessibility to online resources are desired since the computer laboratory with internet access is timetabled and the majority of the PCs are also malfunctioning. The VLAN was then investigated in order to establish or expand the internet to reach the entire school. The study found out that internet availability and accessibility impact SEBESS students' learning.
