# WiFi Connection

**For Nodegrid Releases 6.0.21 and later**: The Nodegrid device can act as a WiFi hotspot as it has a built-in WiFi module or a USB WiFi adapter. The WiFi hotspot setting is not enabled by default. If you want to enable this option, see the section [Configure Hotspot Network Connection](https://docs.zpesystems.com/docs/hotspot-connection).

**Prior to Nodegrid Release 6.0.21**: The Nodegrid device is pre-configured to act as a WiFi hotspot with a built-in WiFi module or a USB WiFi adapter. When turned on, the device automatically presents a WiFi network with the SSID = Nodegrid. The password is the device's serial number. The Nodegrid device provides the IP address to clients in the network 192.168.162.0/24. The client can be configured statically with a valid IP address in the 192.168.162.<2-254> range, bitmask 24.
