Will this work on an Android tablet?
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.)

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!)
