WiFi Module

When the WiFi module is installed, Nodegrid automatically creates an SSID named “Nodegrid” on the 192.168.162.x/24 network with an IP address of 192.168.162.1. Any WiFi enabled device can be connected to this network to access the Nodegrid device.

By default, a hotspot interface is defined which configures the device as an access point (if a WiFi module is present). To use the Nodegrid as an access point, update the values. The default password of the hotspot connection is the device serial number.
