There is a well known app for Windows named: Connectify, used to share a wifi connection between a computer that only has wifi with other devices which requests that connection from the computer.
What's the best alternative for this app on Mac OS X Lion?
Best Answer
You don't need to use a separate application. You can share wi-fi without any app. Go to System Preferences>Sharing>Internet Sharing:
You will be prompted to enter a network name and a password (if you choose to). It does also require you to have a hard-wired Internet connection. (If you are wondering why my sharing checkbox is greyed out, it's because I don't have a hard-wired connection)
You can also click on the Airport icon in the menu bar and then click "Create Network..."
