Hello Bryan; please excuse the tardy response. Things are still hectic here.

This was primarily because I was then able to charge my iphone and macbook using just the macbook's power source. If memory serves, I don't recall any speed differences between the wi-fi and USB connections. Of course, if you're looking to connect more than one device to your hotspot, USB probably wouldn't be the first choice. I didn't spend much time trying bluetooth, so can't offer an informed opinion there. I think that we would need to use either Blue Tooth or Wi-Fi for a number of reasons. Gordon has a couple of external hard drives on his machine in the rest bite home because that was the best way for us to store all our movies and music so that he could get access on demand. The internal drive isn't large enough for all that stuff; so the USB option is out. I changed the Wi-Fi password from the default in the Hot Spot setup in the iPhone's Settings>General>Network but for some reason the MacBook Pro refuses to accept the password – even though it's correctly entered. Blue Tooth seems to be more problematic, it tries to connect, sits there for about 10 to 30 seconds and then fails. I got it paired properly; but since that was done as I said the connection won't work for whatever reason. • Please give my best to Gordon for his health, Thank you; I will do that when I go up to see him shortly. Unfortunately his rehab won't allow us to bring him home for Easter.
