A method for on-boarding/integrating a monitoring device into an electronic monitoring system, comprising: displaying a plurality of access points to a wireless network on a user device, each of the plurality of access points having a corresponding credential associated therewith; selecting multiple access points of the plurality of access points; generating a computer-readable code including information for the selected access points and associated credentials on the user device, the computer-readable code being readable by the monitoring device; and reading the computer-readable code with the monitoring device; identifying with the monitoring device one of the selected access points having the greatest signal strength and providing the same as an initial access point; connecting the monitoring device to the wireless network via the initial access point and the credential associated with the initial access point; monitoring the connection between the monitoring device and the wireless network and if the connection between the monitoring device and the wireless network is disrupted, conducting the additional steps of: attempting to reconnect the monitoring device to the wireless network via the initial access point and the credential associated with the initial access point; if the monitoring device fails to reconnect to the wireless network via the initial access point, conducting the additional steps of: identifying with the monitoring device a second of the selected access points having the greatest signal strength and providing the same as a second access point; connecting the monitoring device to the wireless network via the second access point and the credential associated with the second access point. displaying a plurality of access points to a wireless network on a user device, each of the plurality of access points having a corresponding credential associated therewith; selecting multiple access points of the plurality of access points; generating a computer-readable code including information for the selected access points and associated credentials on the user device, the computer-readable code being readable by the monitoring device; and reading the computer-readable code with the monitoring device; identifying with the monitoring device one of the selected access points having the greatest signal strength and providing the same as an initial access point; connecting the monitoring device to the wireless network via the initial access point and the credential associated with the initial access point; monitoring the connection between the monitoring device and the wireless network and if the connection between the monitoring device and the wireless network is disrupted, conducting the additional steps of: attempting to reconnect the monitoring device to the wireless network via the initial access point and the credential associated with the initial access point; if the monitoring device fails to reconnect to the wireless network via the initial access point, conducting the additional steps of: identifying with the monitoring device a second of the selected access points having the greatest signal strength and providing the same as a second access point; connecting the monitoring device to the wireless network via the second access point and the credential associated with the second access point. identifying with the monitoring device a second of the selected access points having the greatest signal strength and providing the same as a second access point; connecting the monitoring device to the wireless network via the second access point and the credential associated with the second access point. <EOS>
