I use an Alfa USB wifi client adapter w external antenna to pull in the WEP AP at my marina ( I live on a boat). I use my MBP (1.1) airport to share the internet with my iphone and ipad.
When I have the MBP shut down, I get a weak signal with lowered thruput on my mobile devices directly from the AP.
I have encrypted my MBP airport with WEP.
My ipad remembers the password for the AP, but everytime I connect pad to my MBP, it requests password again. I have tried installing the network as other, turned on and off auto-join, done a forget this network for the AP.
My iphone always remembers both network passwords.
both i-devices are on IOS 4.2.1.
TIA for help on this.
