The RPi is a poor choice, because it only has a single USB port that's 
not much of a performer in its own right.  (All user visible ports plus 
the ethernet port are connected via an internal hub)

(I tried to use a RPi as a hotspot for a camper, and the USB performance 
 was so bad the wifi cards kept locking up under even light loads..)
