Headless Network, multi-device access - kwsherwood - 2020-12-14

I've got an Rpi 4 running Open Plotter headless. I've enabled the LAN and can both logon to the OpenPlotter network and control it via VNC from various devices (laptop, android phone, tablet). 

However, it seems I can only connect one device at a time. 

I'd like to be able to setup a tablet in the cabin but also access from a hand-held device such as my phone from time to time. Presently, it seems as if one device logged on to the network impedes any others from connecting. Is there a setting I am missing that would allow this? (It would defeat the purpose if i had to enter the cabin, log the tablet off in order to access via my phone etc. 

At present, I am using the on-board wireless both for access regular wifi and broadcasting the open-plotter LAN. 

Thanks for advice.
