Wi-fi - can one device be used as a hotspot for additional devices with Princess Plus wi-fi?

My smartphone has mobile hot spot capabilities. With the Princess Plus wi-fi, can that device connect to additional devices, such as a tablet, through it's hotspot capabilities?

Yes, set phone to airplane mode and connect to medallion net, once connected swith phones hot-spot on and tether on to phone

Probably...but keep in mind you are now dividing that abysmal bandwidth by 4 and serving it up to the 4 devices

You can if it is an Android phone.

Actually, my goal is to have two devices available, but would not using both at the same time. I would only use one at a time and would prefer to avoid having to log one off and log the other on every time I want to swap them. For most of the day my smaller and lighter phone will suffice, but other times the much large screen of the tablet would be better. I don't want to pay to connect four devices since I will only be using one at a time.

If you are sure you will only have one connected at a time you do not have to log off/log on. The system will auto disconnect the first when you try to attach #2

Thanks. Never used the system before so only going by what I have heard so far. Your comment is new information that will help me figure out how to use my devices.
