How to Connect your Mac to Internet via Wi-Fi

With Connectify Hotspot installed on your PC laptop, you can easily share Internet from your wired Ethernet, 3G, or 4G LTE USB stick as Wi-Fi, so your Mac and other mobile devices can get online, no matter where you are.

Sharing an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection as Wi-Fi works on every edition, including Hotspot Lite (free). Sharing a 3G/4G connection that Windows lists as cellular or mobile broadband needs Hotspot PRO or MAX.

Start a Connectify Hotspot

Step 1: Open Connectify Hotspot. On the Hotspot screen, under Create a, choose Wi-Fi hotspot.

Step 2: Under Internet to share, choose your 3G or 4G device or Ethernet connection. The icon next to each connection shows what kind it is, and connections that aren't online show a No internet tag. Learn more about what to choose for Internet to share.

Step 3: Set a Hotspot name and a Password of at least 8 characters. The hotspot name is what your devices see when they look for Wi-Fi. On Hotspot Lite (free), the name starts with "Connectify-". Your Connectify Hotspot is a real, working hotspot that you use just like any other wireless network.

Step 4: Click Start hotspot to begin sharing your internet connection with your Mac and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices.

Connect your Mac to Connectify via Wi-Fi

Step 1: On your Mac, click the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar (or open Control Center and click Wi-Fi) and make sure Wi-Fi is turned on. Once the list of available Wi-Fi networks populates, you should see your hotspot's name. Connect to that network by clicking it.

Step 2: Enter the password you gave your Connectify Hotspot and click Join. If you see Remember this network, leave it checked so you don't have to retype the password every time you connect to the hotspot.
