iPad How many devices can connect to one hotspot?

I created a hotspot on my laptop with My WIFI Router software.I'm wondering how many devices can be connected?Will too many devices would cause slow connection?

It usually depends on the hotspot.

In theory, the hotspot puts out a certain amount of bandwidth, the more devices on it, the less each device gets.

That being said, I am no network expert, so I may be wrong.

You'd have to ask the folks who wrote My WiFi router about that. Limitations can vary. Each connection probably takes up a small amount of RAM and processing power, on top of bandwidth. There might be a set upper limit, or the software might just let you keep adding devices until something breaks.

Will too many devices would cause slow connection?

If they're all trying to access data at once, then yes. Each device has to share the same speed data connection, so if multiple devices use data at the same time, all of the devices will see slower data.

Is there a limit on the devices you can connect to an iPhone with personal hotspot?

I know this may be like blasphemy, but on my Nokia 720 running Windows Phone OS 8.1 (Dev Preview), I can create a hotspot that supports a max of 8 devices.

Five max, I believe. I used a pretty convoluted set-up to overcome this limitation when we went on vacation. (iPhone/iPad -> Wireless Bridge -> Wireless Router)

Basically, the iPhone/iPad was running just as modem with the router doing DHCP. The system was double-NATted but oh well.
