About Sentinel WiFi
Guest - What is the data allowance (GB) for my trip?The data allowance is set by the boat owner. You may ask the owner to increase the limits. This may incur additional charges.
Getting Started
How do I install the Sentinel WiFi device?An Installation instruction manual is bundled with your device.
Login into the Sentinel application and chose "Activate device" (or the + symbol) to scan the QR code on the WiFi device. Choose the boat on which you wish to bind the WiFi device and follow the instructions on the screen.
Turn on WiFi on your mobile device and look for the appropriate WiFi network. Bi default it is "sentinel-net", but the owner might have changed it. Ask the owner for the password.
For best signal we recommend to mount the WiFi router far from mechanical obstructions. We suggest to place the receiving antenna to the exterior of the vessel. The device itself should be close to the living areas.
