One very rapid change in computer networks is the use of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) to access systems both locally and the internet. One way to add an Access Point (AP) so as not to change the configuration of the running software is use the Wireless Distribution System Mesh (WDS) network. The use of WDS mesh at Universitas Muhammmadiyah Jember (UM Jember) enables a slightly different wireless configuration to reduce the connection loss in the user due to the wireless network area coverage. One step is use AP devices into one unit to handle the case of a connection break by utilizing a network service that is WDS Mesh. WDS Mesh can cover Wi-Fi areas at UM Jember, and the results of testing and analysis of client devices for APs that have been configured WDS Mesh with parameters Signal Strength, CCQ, Signal to Noise Ratio Ratio, Throughput is Excellent.

Security is an important aspect in communicating using information technology. SMS is a service provided by mobile phones to communicate by sending short messages quickly and cheaply. Short message delivery is done by SMS network, so the messages are not sent directly to the destination mobile phone. Therefore the messages that are sending by the SMS service need to be protected, so the security of the messages sent to the SMS network remains protected by its confidentiality. In this study the software will be built to improve the security of messages on SMS communication. The software that is built serves to encrypt messages that will be sent and decrypt messages with entered through the SMS service. Software built using the 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard) algorithm. The 3DES algorithm is a flow algorithm (block cipher) which belongs to the type of symmetry key cryptography system. The implementation of the 3DES algorithm on software that is built using the Java-based programming language Java. So only software that uses the Android operating system can use this encryption and decryption application.
