Share wifi connection

When I sharing my wifi connection with the macbookAir all the other devices are able to see and connect in it but no one is able to surf in internet.
The macbookAir surf in internet without problems. It is on line with a usb stick from the brand "huawei".
This problem appen from 3 weeks ago but before was fine.
I didn't change anything.
Do you have some ideas how I can fix this problem?
Tks

Later edit: I've managed to share WiFi through Bluetooth. Still this is annoying as I can pair only one device at a time and reset all the thing when I need to swich to another device... So I can connect my iPad, but when I want to switch to my Blackberry or iPhone I need to unpair the whole thing etc etc..
So ideal for me would be the option to transform the Mac into a WiFi repeater rather than a Wifi-over-Bluetooth solution.

Can I share wifi connection through iPhone tethering (instead of 3G)?

Hi,
when overseas, I don't have tethering (I have a US-only plan).
However, I am able to join wifi hotspots with a global login, plus my work based encrypted network. I cannot get my iPad or Macbook onto those networks directly.
Can I join a wifi network with my iPhone, then have other devices tether to that wifi internet connection?
Thanks!
edited for formatting.

No.
Tethering is for sharing the iPhone's internet connection via the iPhone's cellular network only with a computer or device.

My Iphone 4S no longer works it's wifi connection as well as the share internet option

My iPhone 4S no longer works it's wifi connection nor it's internet share option

That's unfortunate.
Do you have a question?

Share os10 wifi connection (not the mobile data)

Hello Gentlemen, Quick question: how to share the wifi connection of my bbz10 with tethering or mobile hotspot or whatever. I am connected to a wifi netwrok with the phone and I want to share this wifi with my laptop (unfortunately I cant connect ti this network with my laptop). I do not want to use the mobile data, but if I press tethering it tries to force me to enable mobile data. cheers.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Nope...the HotSpot function works by using the carrier data network connection on the device for any other devices connected to the devices WiFi hotspot. When the hotspot is activated, the ability for the device to use WiFi for data is deactivated. There is no bridge between WiFi data for the device and other devices connected via WiFi.
Good luck!

Share Gobi2000 connection over WiFi

Hello !
I got a week ago my Thinkpad T510 with Gobi2000 3g modem. Everything works fine but I got an issue right now.
Under Windows 7 I wanted to create ad-hoc WiFi network and share my 3g connection to other PC and Android Phone.
On Android there is no listed any WiFi connection.
On PC it is visible but I cannot connect to it.
I found an application called Connectify but it does not support sharing internet via Gobi2000.
Is there any other way to share this 3g connection via WiFi ?
Have you tried it already ?
Thanks for any answer !

Connectify normally doesn't care what sort of 3G device you have, it only cares about what WiFi card you have. I suggest that you read through the Connectify instructions again.

I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them

Share Internet connection Mac to PC vie Wifi

Hello,
I am a new mac user.
I have a Mac which is connected to the Internet via an Ethernet cable.
I would like to create a wifi connection from my Mac to my girl friend's PC (vista) so she can surf the web too.
I have been confused with the "create a New network" with the airport. Is that enough? Should I also go to "share the internet connection" through my "sharing" icon in my system preferences... or is it the same thing... ?
I do not know if I make much sense....
Can someone please shed some light on this matter? Thanks.

Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "Internet sharing."

How to share internet connection using 5G wifi/channel 36~48

I'm using a 15 inch late 2013 MacBook Pro with retina display running 10.10.1 and iPhone 5S A1530 running iOS 8.1.
I use an Apple thunderbolt to ethernet adapter at work for internet and it's all cool and fine.
The problem comes when I try to share the internet connection with my phone through wifi. It's alright if I use channel 1 to 11. But when I try the 5G channels: 36, 40, 44, 48, it just doesn't work. The wifi icon in the top right corner of my screen has a wave animation and then nothing. It just goes back to grey instead of an arrow pointing upwards. In the slimmest hope of a display error, I search nearby wifi signal with my phone and nothing.
I have a 5G router at home and both my laptop and my phone can connect to its 5G signal. So the hardware should be fine.
It's weird since it should be working as Apple decided to put an option there for user to choose from all the channels, among which lie the four 5G channels.
So to conclude, my laptop with a functioning 5G wifi module can share internet connection through 2.4G wifi but not 5G.
Hope someone could help me with it. Thanks.

I've turned on NAT and attempted to create a new Subnet using DHCP but it doesn't offer me Airport in the network interface menu (only en0 and fw0). Airport is turned on in network system prefs.
Have you actually configured the AirPort network with its own IP address settings (in a different subnet from the wired ethernet port)?
Having the interface enabled isn't enough to make it a viable gateway interface. It needs an IP address/subnet mask too.

Share iphone's wifi connection with laptop?

I've got a 1st gen Macbook Pro that has very weak wifi reception. I often connect my wife's Macbook to mine so I can share her wifi connection.
I've seen the reverse question asked and answered that you can share a Apple laptop connection with an iPhone but can I plug an iPhone into my MBP and use its wifi connection? I know edge tethering is not supported but I don't see why not wifi.

The iPhone can not share its internet connection (WiFi or EDGE). Its a process known as tethering and it is not supported.

IPod Wifi Connection - Share with Laptop?

Easy question ... i have a laptop with an Alltel wireless data card. Can I get an iPod touch and have it share the connection?

I don't know about a PC, but on a MAC you can share your internet connection - it turns the MAC into a base station. I've done this at hotels that don't have wi-fi but an ethernet connection to the web instead. Got online with my MacBook Pro - shared the internet connection which then allowed my iPod Touch to pick up the connection.

Sharing a WiFi Connection in OSX

Lets say your in a hotel that has wifi and you have to pay $10 a day for the connection. You don't want to have to pay $10 again for your iPad and iPhone to connect as well.
I would like to share the WiFi connection on my MAC with other devices. I know how to do this with two WiFi cards but can this be done with a single WiFi Card?
I know technicialy it is possible to do this with one card because I have see apps for Windows and even an iPhone using the Jailbroken MyFi App that used a bridge tethered mode to share a WiFi (not 3G) connection to a number of devices.
Anyone know of a way to do this on a MAC?
All the best,
Joe

Hi Sig,
If only life was that simple. The basic Mac XOS Internet Sharing will allows you to share a wired internet connection over wireless or a wireless internet connection over wire. Or if you have two wireless cards you can share the connection on one wireless card with users onanother card.
What I wanted to do was share the Wireless Internet connectionon the same wireless card. It looks like you have to pick a different interface for sharing then the one your wish to share using the approach you are recommending.
All the best,
Joe

TS1398 Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

not much response in here which surprises me...
Anyway... AS I am still looking for answers, I will share a couple of points that I realised...
in Airport Utility, I noticed that my iphone MAC address was actually showing as client connected, despite my phone network showing the spinning wheel next to the network name for ever and never actually connecting.
I am currently testing the router mode in Network to be on DHCP and NAT mode with a range from .2 to .200
My phone is now connected....
Everything seems to be ok and happy so far...
strange that this router and phone have worked together for at least a couple of years, the phone works everywhere else, and all other toys connect to my WIFI just fine. the list is as follow:
airport extreme
Zeppelin air
2x apple tv
2 ipads
iphone 4s
2 mac
1 pc
I have litterally just hard reset the router with a pin just now as a last resort... same...
I will leave the router as DHCP & NAT until a potential firmware or OS update...

Connecting to shared iTunes via iPod Touch wifi connection

I was wondering if there was a way for me to connect to my shared iTunes music from my iPod Touch (IE in another room, NOT connected to a computer). I would assume that since my iTunes is shared over my wifi connection, and my iPod Touch connects over the same wifi, it would let me do this, but I can't find anything to support this evidence. I'm probably wrong.
If anyone has an answer, let me know! Thanks.

This assumes that you use the Ethernet port to connect the iMac to the Internet:
Navigate to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > Internet section. Switch on Internet Sharing and choose "Sharing your connection from": "Built-in Ethernet". To computers using "Airport".
To secure the connection (highly recommended) go to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > Internet section. Click on "Airport Options..." and check "Enable encryption (using WEP)". Then enter a password twice. You will need to enter this password to share your connection, although you should be aware even 128bit WEP isn't all that secure.
Additionally OS X IP firewall is probably blocking incoming Port 80 requests (i.e. web traffic).
Go to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > and under Services check "Web Sharing".
The wording in this post is for Leopard (10.5).

Very slow/stalling wifi connection on iMac

I recently purchased the iMac 21.5" Core i3 3.06GHz- I was quite exited about my new computer as I've been thinking about switching to Mac for a couple of months. I was amazed with the software compared to Windows, but so far I'm very dissapointed with the wifi connection.
I connect to a router which is two floors down in the same apartment building (we have an agreement to share the connection with my neighbors)- D-link router using WEP- authentication. On the same spot where I placed my iMac, I regularly get 2-3 out of 5 bars and speeds of approx. 250 kb/s with my corporate Windows7 lenovo PC. However, the iMac wifi connection is very slow- I'm not sure of the exact speed, as the connection is very unstable- sometimes webpages load quickly, but sometimes a simple web-page takes forever. The key issue is downloading files- when downloading a file, the speed starts at 250- 300 kb/s at first, then quickly drops to approx. 50 kb/s, a then usually stalls and the download is rarely finished.
I have tried browsing apple support for help, and found advice to adjust MTU in AirPort settings, and I experimented with various DNS, but niether of these seems to help, my web-browsing and page loading times seem to have improved, but downloading files is still almost impossible. The problem si very frustrating, since I get reliable speed and connection on my lenovo PC on the very same spot as the iMac.
Based on reading internet discussions on this topic this seems to be a rather wide-spread problem with the iMac, and I'm wondering if anyone here has a similar experience and any suggestions for a solution? Can it be an issue with the aluminium body which has poorer reception, and I simply need to move my desk to different location in the apartment?
Thanks, I appreciate all suggestions!

Hello,
Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON?
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
10.5.x/10.6.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Then highlight the Ethernet, click Advanced, is it set to Using DHCP, what IP does it Show & Router IP, then click on Proxies tab & make sure none are set, click on the DNS tab and enter these numbers...

Can't see printer or shares when connected via Internet Sharing

I recently switched from a 2006 to a 2008 Mac Pro. Rather than do a migration I simply took the hard drives from the old machine and put them in the new one.
I then upgraded to Mountain Lion.
I use Internet Sharing to share my Mac Pro's Ethernet connection via wifi, but the other Macs can't see the Mac Pro's printer or shares when connected in this way. They can access the internet. If I connect a machine via the LAN rather than Internet Sharing, the shares and printer are visible.
This worked fine on Lion on the old machine. Any ideas?

Seems that the issue is something to do with connecting via WPA2. When I set Internet Sharing to use WEP (by option-clicking the security menu), I'm then able to see the network shares and the printer.
