From the iPad User Manual:
Personal Hotspot
You can use Personal Hotspot (on Wi-Fi + cellular models) to share an Internet connection with a computer or other device—such as an iPod touch or iPhone—connected to your iPad via Wi-Fi. You can also use Personal Hotspot to share an Internet connection with a computer connected to iPad via Bluetooth or USB. Personal Hotspot works only if iPad is connected to the Internet over the cellular data network.
Note: This feature may not be available in all areas. Additional fees may apply. Contact your carrier for more information.
Share an Internet connection: Go to Settings > General > Cellular and tap Set Up Personal Hotspot—if it appears—to set up the service with your carrier.
After you turn on Personal Hotspot, other devices can connect in the following ways:
Note: When a device is connected, a blue band appears at the top of the iPad screen. The Personal Hotspot icon appears in the status bar of iOS devices using the Personal Hotspot.
Change the Wi-Fi password for iPad: Go to Settings > Personal Hotspot > Wi-Fi Password, then enter a password of at least 8 characters.
Monitor your cellular data network usage: Go to Settings > General > Usage > Cellular Usage.
How many iPads can connect to my personal hotspot at one time?
More than one.
Anybody know the total?
We'd like to get 8 iPads using the personal hotspot from a 9th iPad connected via mi-fi.
Your carrier would be able to answer that.
Why don't you connect directly to the Mi-Fi? (Maximum 5 clients)
You are better off using a router for all your 8 iPads.
