I have a Sentinel with the 5G modem, it has the Alpha Wifi module on it as well.  I would like to confitrm I can expect to operate via wifi or 5G correct?

@Paul-Carff I figured out some things with some help from my son!!  I ran the command: 
voxl-configure-mpa -p --family sentinel
I then ran voxl-wifi softap {SSID}
I then connected to the AP on my laptop and ran
voxl-configure-vision-px4 and set the ip of my laptoip

qgroundcontrol connected - since I am indoors - no GPS fix as expected.

@Paul-Carff Sounds like your son knows his stuff!
