I think that WiFi Tether supports more than 1 device - I've had my laptop and my wifes connected to my phone at the same time.

Re: Evo 2.2 wifi hotspot
 

yeah I have had 3 or so devices connected

Re: Evo 2.2 wifi hotspot
 

I have also connected more than one device at the same time. Laptop and Ipod touch.

Re: Evo 2.2 wifi hotspot
 

Does the wifi hotspot work on 4g without paying the $30. That is why I didn't update after they replaced my phone.

Nope just tried it didn't work, got the invalid username password error.

Re: Evo 2.2 wifi hotspot
 

How about my rooted users, does the wifi tether program work over 4g

Re: Evo 2.2 wifi hotspot
 

The Sprint Hotspot app will not work for free... however, if your phone is rooted, there is a wifi tether app that will work for free, which is what this thread is about...

As far as the OP's issue, double check your settings in the Wifi tether app and make sure you have it set to allow more than one device (also, make sure you're using this one: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ ). I personally have not tried it since updating to netarchy's rooted stock froyo, though, so I can't say for sure.
