    Get a wirelessrouter or use the one you got from your profider.



    Because, If your brother want to use internet your iMac has to be active and your iMac's performance will decrease if he starts some haevy surfing.

    but , YES, the signal IS WiFi... your Mac is acting as the base-station/router.
