is possible guiding my mount via PHD2 via Wi-Fi?

Hi, 

you may watch these videos: 
HOWTO: Make a POWERFUL smart TELESCOPE! Better than much bigger telescopes! - YouTube
PHD2 Autoguide of AZ-GTi Mount by Various Camera Drivers. - YouTube

Please note: If you want to use AZ-GTI in Alt-Az Mode your exposure time will be limited by field rotation
My tipp - being a beginner myself - take it one step at a time and start in Alt-Az mode with short exposure times and improve your experience from there.

Have fun and clear skies

Hi, Diego.

I use AZ-GTi in the same way: AZ-GTi + equatorial wedge & Canon with lens. All process fully automated within N.I.N.A. and guided PHD2 via Wi-Fi. 

Can't said something about maximum range. I putting setup quite closer to car (about 3-4 meters), and never have any problems with connection.

Yes you can guide it with Wi-Fi, connect through Synscan and then in Nina find the Synscan option in your Equipment/Mount tab.

That said I recommend getting the AzGTI eqmod cable, it makes the connection more reliable.
