[QUOTE="SteveJF, post: 1667282, member: 357314"] Here is a simple solution to "Share wifi (not wired) using Macbook (connected to Wifi and want to share wifi)" 1. Purchase a WiFi adapter. I purchased the netis 300Mbps Wireless N USB Adapter. 2. Turn off the Mac's wifi internal adapter. I have an Air running 10.9 3. Configure the USB adapter on your Mac, then connect the USB adapter to your WiFi network. 4. Turn off Internet Sharing in Syetem Preferences, Sharing. 5. Set the Internet Sharing options to: Share your connection from: 802.11n WLAN Adapter To computers using: Wi-Fi (Note: the name for your adapter in the options box may differ from this one.) 6. Turn on Internet Sharing. 7. Turn on the Mac's internal wifi adapter. 8. Connect your other device to the SSID now being broadcast by your Mac's internal wifi adapter. I connected an iPhone running 8.3 Works like a champ, at least here at my home network. [/QUOTE]
