The game's built-in LAN stuff (via the BBA, the Broadband Adapter) is a pain to set up correctly, and our resident netplay expert JMC47 still hasn't ever succeeded in setting it up, so you can probably ignore that.
Dolphin's netplay works well as long as everyone's got a half-decent internet connection and a fast enough CPU to run the game at full speed *with* settings that drastically increase the CPU load, e.g. DSP LLE (which usually isn't necessary, but for this game it is) and single-core mode. It's unlikely that your MacBook fits that requirement. Netplay also generally requires a high degree of competency and collaboration between the players, since everyone's settings need to be almost exactly the same (the few exceptions include graphics backend and enhancements – not hacks, those can still break things) and everyone needs to use the exact same memory card file unless you have memcard syncing enabled. Any issues you run into will be either your fault, a friend's fault, or someone's computer being too slow for the game with the ridiculously-intensive settings.
tl;dr, netplay is usually a lot of work to set up correctly and may not even work well on your hardware. If you're up for it, though, follow the guide (and make sure your friends do too): https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/netplay-guide/
