# Updating Sentinel over WiFi ### 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

{% hint style="info" %} 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 {% endhint %} * 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](https://conservation-x-labs-1.gitbook.io/sentinel-multi-language/in-the-field/updating-sentinel-over-wifi/update-your-sentinel-over-wifi).
