Internet sharing isn't meant to be a permanent solution, it's just a convenience for when you need to get online quickly through a known good connection without worrying about wiring or setup. You will get much better internet service to the mbp if you invest in a standalone router like Time Capsule.

internet sharing is at its best a short term solution...

good luck.
