Enable WiFi Hotspot on Mac Share Internet Connection from Mac
0Turning your Mac into a Wi-Fi hotspot is a useful way to share your internet connection with other devices, especially when you're using Ethernet or another source like USB or Bluetooth. This video provides a clear and simple walkthrough on how to enable Wi-Fi hotspot on a Mac without the need for third-party apps or complex terminal commands.
To get started, you'll first need to click on the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your Mac screen and go to System Preferences. From there, select the 'Sharing' option, which is where you'll find settings related to network sharing. The next step is to choose the internet source you want to share. For example, if you're connected via Ethernet and want to share that connection over Wi-Fi, you'd set Ethernet as the source and Wi-Fi as the method of sharing.
Once you've selected the correct connection types, you can configure your hotspot by clicking the 'Wi-Fi Options' button. This allows you to set the network name (SSID), choose a preferred Wi-Fi channel, and add password protection using WPA2 encryption. After you've saved your settings by clicking OK, enable the hotspot by checking the box next to 'Internet Sharing' in the left-hand panel. A prompt will ask you to confirm that you want to start sharing—once accepted, your Mac will begin broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal that other devices can connect to.
This feature is particularly useful when you're in a location with wired internet only, or when you're trying to extend a limited network connection to more devices.
