Horrible latency surfing the web via computer shared Wi-Fi.

My mac has a wi-fi card in it, so via System Preferences/Sharing I can enable internet sharing with computers that use Wi-Fi. I can then surf the internet on my iPhone, but there are horrible latency issues.

The speed comes across okay (2mb to 3mb) but it takes pages up to a whole minute to load because it sits at the beginning stage of loading forever.

I've inputed my iPhones Wi-Fi address into the appropriate spot in my routers settings, and there are still latency issues when running on this Wi-Fi.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks

 

The mac isn't connected to the internet wirelessly. It is connected to the modem through a router though, because there are other computers on the network.

What the mac is doing is simply "sharing" it's internet connection with the iphone, via the airport card inside it.
