Further, a non-parametric test using Mann-Whitney obtained a result of asymp. Sig (2-tailed) 0.000 < 0.05, meaning WLAN network installation significantly affects learning activities; 2) The influence of WLAN network installation on teacher performance - the normality test using Shapiro-Wilk resulted in a value of 0.026 < 0.05, indicating non-normally distributed data. Further, a non-parametric test using Mann-Whitney obtained a result of asymp. Sig (2-tailed) 0.000 < 0.05, meaning WLAN network installation significantly affects teacher performance.
