Yes. Desktop wireless card is awful so I have this pretty nice PC just sitting here as I play on my tiny laptop lol. I didn't know I could turn my laptop into a router! Makes sense I guess. Will look into it hehe.
Do you know if it's even possible without the ethernet (or whatever) ports? Maybe a USB converter thing would fix that problem.

An alternative is to get a USB network card for 10-20 bucks depending if you get one with an antenna thing. I have one and it has better speeds than internal board of another desktop as well as my laptops

Do you have an ethernet port for the mac?

im not sure about macintrash, but windows has this capability built in since xp at least. since apple's strategy has always been to copy their competition, i would only assume that there is a way to do this.
