Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for automatically connecting an IoT device [130] to an access point [120] via a wireless network [140], comprising: receiving a configuration setting request at an onboarding server [110] from the access point [120] pursuant to receiving a broadcasting probe request from the IoT device [130] at the access point [120], transmitting one of a configuration setting and a default setting to the access point [120] based on a status of the IoT device [130] wherein status includes one of an on-board and an off-board, establishing one of a permanent connection using the configuration setting and a temporary connection using the default setting between the access point [120] and the IoT device [130] via the wireless network [140]; and switching the status of the IoT device [130] to the on-board in an event the temporary connection is established.
