For a while now I've been using the Wireless in my Mac Mini as a seperate WiFi access point because my main router doesn't quite cover my whole house. There is a dedicated CAT 5E line down to the Mini, which has a static IP address.
I've turned Internet Sharing on, using Airport/WiFi but it seems my options for security are limited. Can I do WPA2? Also, it seems like my iPhone only connects 25% of the time, and the rest of the time it claims I've given a bad password. I've tried "Forget this network" repeatedly.

I've also run into this problem when using Internet Sharing in OS X. It seems that Internet Sharing is only setup to work for impromptu mac-to-mac networks, especially when not using Mac OS X Server.
You might have better luck buying a cheap wireless router, disabling NAT, and using it as a wireless bridge.
