If you have an internet connection on your Mac computer, you can share the same connection with other devices using ad-hoc Wi-Fi internet sharing. The step-by-step illustrated instructions shared below will allow your Mac computer to act as an WiFi router, Wi-Fi internet sharing capability comes built-in with Mac OS X and no additional software needs to be installed - the internet sharing feature just needs to get activated as shown ahead. 

Activating internet sharing via AirPort (Mac Wi-Fi) to other devices :
- Open your Mac System Preference and click the "Sharing" button from "Internet and Wireless" section.
 - Now click the "Internet Sharing" check-box and make sure you select options as per you configuration, for example in the screen-shot shared below we are allowing the Ethernet connection to get shared via AirPort/WiFi and iPhone USB.
 - Once allowed and configured the on-screen "Internet Sharing : On" status light will turn green, and your mac will be visible to all in-range WiFi devices with internet sharing enabled.
 - Enjoy, your Mac as an wireless internet router.
