There are schools e.g. in Mexico that use Android tablets *in the hands of
their students* to connect by Wi-Fi to their Internet-in-a-Box.

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  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!)

Will this work on an Android tablet?

Announcing the release of Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) 6.7 !

 

Please use it to "steal" the Internet's crown jewels 
  and craft your own LIBRARY OF 
ALEXANDRIA using a $35 Raspberry Pi computer, or any old laptop.

 

Our HOW-TO videos   
show you how to customize your Internet-in-a-Box "knowledge hotspot" — for your 
school, your clinic, your library, your entire region — or your very own family.

 

Install Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) 6.7 using its 1-line installer 
  to transform an old laptop into a "learning 
palace" for a developing world school, that urgently needs this today!

 

Then drag-and-drop the very best of the World's Free Knowledge (Wikipedia in 
any language, thousands of Khan Academy videos, zoomable OpenStreetMap, 
E-Books, WordPress journaling, the new Sugarizer 1.1, Toys from Trash 
electronics projects, ETC) for those who are burning for learning — but just 
happen to be offline.

 

Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) 6.7 Release Notes:

The crown jewels are all free, liberated — and open source too! 
Internet-in-a-Box is now used in schools, libraries and medical clinics in more 
than 20 countries. Why not DIY your own LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA with a $35 
Raspberry Pi computer, starting today?
