Updating Sentinel over WiFi

Connecting Sentinel to local WiFi (modem)

Setting up the modem

For this you need a working WiFi connection (or Hotspot) without a secondary verification e.g. hotel Wifi with a login page

Sentinel Modem

This process repeats your WiFi to a network that Sentinel knows (called sentinel-net). This allows the Sentinels to always look for the same network wherever they are

  • Plug-in provided modem via micro USB cable

  • Connect to sentinel-net (PW: endextinction)

  • Open the browser and navigate to 192.168.8.1 (PW: endextinction)

This should pop up when you navigate to 192.168.8.1 on sentinel-net for the first time
  • Click the Scan button, and connect to your WiFi network

  • Check that you are both connected to sentinel-net network and that a webpage loads

You will only have to do this process once.

  • Verify that the Sentinel is connected to Sentinel-net (during boot-up the Sentinel should show a stable blue light at some point)

Sentinel name (e.g. jumping-nexus) should pop up in Clients

Now you know that your Sentinel is connected to your local WiFi via sentinel-net. You can now proceed to update your device.
