Have to turn hotspot on and off to tether

I have to turn my iPhone Personal Hotspot off and then back on for it to show up on Macbook Pro to tether. I didn't used to, it used to appear straight away if it was on


I think the issue may have occurred after I plugged in my wife's iPhone via USB to use her tethering once. I have cleared all other similar tether networks, placed my iPhone as the first preferred network. Reset network setting on my iPhone.


Any other ideas?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
