As many as 32 tablets/devices can connect simultaneously to these Internet-in-a-Box hotspots that are commonly built with a $35 Raspberry Pi 3 B+. That is almost always the best way to get started — install Internet-in-a-Box on a $35 Raspberry Pi 3 B+ or similar. Of course some prefer to install Internet-in-a-Box on an old laptop or PC *(and possibly some tablets might work too?!)* Key Questions: - Can your hardware run Ubuntu 18.04, Debian 9/10, or Raspbian? - Can its internal Wi-Fi run as an Access Point, to be hassle-free for your community? - Does its internal Wi-Fi support enough simultaneous Wi-Fi connections to be hassle-free for your community? (e.g. Raspberry Pi supports 32 simultaneous Wi-Fi connections; whereas Intel NUC mini PCs generally support 12 simultaneous Wi-Fi connections.) *See http://FAQ.IIAB.IO <http://FAQ.IIAB.IO> to see others' hardware/OS implementation recommendations.* (If anyone has success installing Internet-in-a-Box on a tablet, please let others know — feel free to directly edit the MediaWiki-based FAQ above — with thanks to One Laptop Per Child that is hosting it!)
