Hotspot WiFi (built-in) to WiFi (usb wifi card), how to

Networksharingwifi

I'm trying to share my wifi connection with to-link TL-WN725N.
I've found the drivers and its works and I connect to WiFi with this or AirPort in the same way (for the first I use Wireless Network Utility).

I can share from USB Wifi Card -> Wifi Built-in with Connection Shared in Systems Preferences but it doesn't work in the other way (Wifi -> Usb Wifi Card).

Have you any idea how can I do this?

The problem to use WifiCard -> Wifi is that the Card is slower than AirPort and, while the shared connection can be slowly, the connection on mac can't be slow, so I need to connect Mac with AirPort and share with Usb Wifi Card.

Your build in WiFi card can only work one way.

So if it is receiving the WiFi than it can not broadcast (share) it at the same time.

But if your Internet connection comes in via USB WiFi or cable then you can use the build in WiFi to share (it is sending).

I think this will only work on wifi adaptors that support bridged mode wireless. Not all of them do. The internal Airport does which is why it can be turned into a hotspot.

I think you'll be able to go this way

Share your connection from : [usb wifi adaptor] 
To Computers using : [airport]

Setting up all security features as per normal.

Yes - Macs have internet sharing where you can use one device to get internet and share it from another.

Most people in a cabin situation set up an AirPort to let all the devices talk and then you would share from the USB to the physical ethernet port. The router would get to the internet from the ethernet and everyone can join the WiFi and share whether or not the USB modem is dialed.

You would set the service order to have the USB modem be the highest connection in the network pane.

What you ask is also possible - just share from USB to WiFi and the Mac will create a wireless network the other devices can join.
