   yes, if it can hotspot to another wireless connection but if you're going to   
   do that, just connect them all to the wireless connection without the   
   hotspot...

   that's the easiest and it doesn't have to be that ancient, either... as long   
   as it supported the wireless protocols needed by each of your devices it   
   should be OK...
