+++++ WiFi AP connection |
-The Full Miner communicates over a peer-to-peer (P2P) network and needs to connect to the remote port 44158. \\
+A WiFi access point is available at boot time on each Wirnet™ iFemtoCell for one hour, broadcasting an SSID named after its serial number (''klk-wifc-**XXXXXX**''). It can only be used to access the Wirnet™ iFemtoCell itself, as it does not route traffic to anywhere and does not serve as an Internet wireless access point.
-**The Light Hotspot → Validator connection is a standard gRPC connection. The default port Validators listen on is 8080 so Hotspots should be able to connect Outbound to that port.** \\Hence, other miners must have this port forwarded to their miner IP address, and so should you. Indeed, other miners will want to connect to your miner too. \\
+The passphrase to connect to this WiFi network is the Ethernet MAC address (it can be found on the Wirnet™ iFemtoCell label), in uppercase, without spaces between the digits, e.g. ''7076FF**YYYYYY**''.
+Note that this interface does not come with a DHCP server, it is only meant to be used for the Wirnet™ iFemtoCell configuration. Your computer may take some time to get the “connected” status, and the interface will have a “limited connectivity”, which is normal. It is not possible to upgrade the gateway firmware when you are connected with the WiFi access point.

+**The Light Hotspot → Validator connection is a standard gRPC connection. The default port Validators listen on is 8080 so Hotspots should be able to connect Outbound to that port. \\
+Note: Validator operators can choose whichever port they want (mainly used are 8081 to 8089). If a Hotspot can not connect to a Validator, the Hotspot will drop that Validator and automatically try to connect to a different one.** \\
+Hence, other miners must have this port forwarded to their miner IP address, and so should you. Indeed, other miners will want to connect to your miner too. \\
