• In the System Preferences window, select “Sharing,” then “Internet Sharing” from the list of services.
• On the right side of the screen, pick the source of your Internet connection.
• Make sure Wi-Fi is selected in the “To computers using” box.
• Click “Wi-Fi Options” at the bottom of the window to configure your Wi-Fi hotspot. You can change the network name and Wi-Fi channel, if you wish.
• Click “OK” to close the window and select the checkbox to the left of Internet Sharing to activate the hot spot.
