receiving, by the first computer, a second wireless access point identifier associated with the second computer;

determining, by the first computer, whether the first wireless access point identifier matches the second wireless access point identifier;

establishing, by the first computer based at least in part upon a positive determination that the first wireless access point identifier matches the second wireless access point identifier, wireless peer-to-peer communication between the first computer and the second computer in the radar transmission channel;

determining, by the first computer, upon a determination that the second computer is not in communication with the wireless access point, whether the second computer is able to detect the presence of the wireless access point; and

establishing, by the first computer, based at least in part upon a determination that the second computer is not able to detect the presence of the wireless access point and upon a determination that the wireless access point is operating in a radar transmission channel, a wireless peer-to-peer connection with the second computer in a non-radar transmission channel.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from the wireless access point, instructions to vacate the radar transmission channel.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising re-establishing, by the first computer in response to the instructions from the wireless access point, the wireless communication with the second computer in the non-radar transmission channel.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the radar transmission channel is a dynamic frequency selection channel.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein establishing the wireless peer-to-peer communication between the first computer and the second computer comprises establishing a Wi-Fi Direct connection.

6. A device, comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:

establish communication with a wireless access point;

receive, by the transceiver from a second device, discovery information associated with the second device;

determine, based at least in part on the discovery information, whether the second device is in communication with the wireless access point;

determine whether the wireless access point is operating in a radar transmission channel using frequency information received from the wireless access point, the frequency information indicating a predetermined frequency band;

establish, upon a positive determination that the second device is in communication with the wireless access point and upon a positive determination that the wireless access point is operating in a radar transmission channel, a wireless peer-to-peer connection with the second device in the radar transmission channel;

determine, upon a determination that the second device is not in communication with the wireless access point, whether the second device is able to detect the presence of the wireless access point; and

establish, based at least in part upon a determination that the second device is not able to detect the presence of the wireless access point and upon a determination that the wireless access point is operating in a radar transmission channel, a wireless peer-to-peer connection with the second device in a non-radar transmission channel.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the computer-executable instructions to determine whether the second device is in communication with the wireless access point further comprises computer-executable instructions that cause the at least one processor to:

determine a first access point identifier associated with the wireless access point;

receive, by the transceiver from the second device, a second access point identifier; and

determine whether the first access point identifier matches the second access point identifier.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the second access point identifier is included in the discovery information received from the second device.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the at least one processor to:

designate the device as a group owner of the wireless peer-to-peer connection.

10. The device of claim 6 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the at least one processor to:

receive, from the wireless access point, instructions to vacate the radar transmission channel.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the at least one processor to:

re-establish, in response to the instructions from the wireless access point, the wireless peer-to-peer communication with the second device in the non-radar transmission channel.

12. The device of claim 6 , wherein the radar transmission channel is a dynamic frequency selection channel.

13. The device of claim 6 , wherein the wireless peer-to-peer connection comprises a Wi-Fi Direct connection.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, that when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

establish communication with a wireless access point;

receive, from a second device, discovery information associated with the second device;

determine, based at least in part on the discovery information, whether the second device is in communication with the wireless access point;

determine whether the wireless access point is operating in a radar transmission channel using frequency information received from the wireless access point, the frequency information indicating a predetermined frequency band, the predetermined frequency band comprising a range of operating frequencies;

establish, upon a positive determination that the second device is in communication with the wireless access point and upon a positive determination that the wireless access point is operating in a radar transmission channel, a wireless peer-to-peer connection with the second device in the radar transmission channel;

determine, upon a determination that the second device is not in communication with the wireless access point, whether the second device is able to detect the presence of the wireless access point; and

establish, based at least in part upon a determination that the second device is not able to detect the presence of the wireless access point and upon a determination that the wireless access point is operating in a radar transmission channel, a wireless peer-to-peer connection with the second device in a non-radar transmission channel.

15. The computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the computer-executable instructions to determine whether the second device is in communication with the wireless access point further comprises computer-executable instructions that cause the at least one processor to:

determine a first access point identifier associated with the wireless access point;

receive, by the transceiver from the second device, a second access point identifier; and
