Check the box next to "Internet Sharing" to enable the feature. You may need to click on the lock icon in the lower-left corner and enter your administrator password to make changes.
Step 5: Select the Sharing Method
In the "Share your connection from" drop-down menu, select the network interface you want to share your Wi-Fi password through. Typically, this will be "Wi-Fi." In the "To computers using" section, select how other devices will connect to your shared Wi-Fi network. You can choose between:
