How to connect multiple devices to openplotter Wi-Fi?

Anyway, just as a test, forget the USB option, configure the internal Wifi to be the AP only and see if it resolves your problem of not being able to connect multiple devices.

What details are shown for the d-link if you use the lsusb command? Edit - I see it is the RTL8812BU chipset, many Realtek devices don't work with the Pi out of the box. Perhaps they can be made to work but I prefer to use P&P adapters that just work without having to mess about with drivers etc.

I found some tutorials for installing the RTL8812BU chipset drivers that I will try to follow. Could you tell me what these dongles work in plug and play?

Yes, I tried it in AP-only configuration and it works perfectly, so the problem is the AP + Station connection
