You'll need to use a USB WiFi device to do this. You'll want to pass it through to the guest. How you turn it into an AP will depend entirely upon the make and model of the USB WiFi adapter, it may not even be possible with some wifi adapters.

Thanks for your reply.

But I want to know if there is another solution instead of buying wifi driver, or another software that I can use.

The guest is only presented with a wired network device, I don't think that it would be possible to make the guest behave as an AP.
