1. A computing device, comprising:
- one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to;
obtain information regarding implementation of dynamic frequency selection of communication devices within a geographic area;
determine if the obtained information meets at least one threshold criteria;
indicate that a first communication device installed within the geographic area is to communicate wirelessly with a second communication device if the at least one threshold criteria is met; and
indicate that the first communication device is to communicate with the second communication device via a wired connection if the at least one threshold criteria is not met.

Abstract
Embodiments are directed towards collecting information regarding the implementation of dynamic frequency selection and automatic channel selection by one or more wireless communication devices. And to use the collected information to determine if other communication devices are coupled to communicate with each other via a wireless connection or a wired connection, or to modify the automatic channel selection mechanism used by one or more wireless communication devices.

8. A method, comprising:
-
obtaining information regarding implementation of dynamic frequency selection by at least one communication device in a geographic area; identifying a first communication device to install in the geographic area; providing a first indication that the first communication device is to wirelessly communicate with a second communication device when the obtained information meets at least one threshold criteria; and providing a second indication that the first communication device is to communicate with the second communication device via a wired connection when the obtained information does not meet the at least one threshold criteria. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A handheld device, comprising:
circuitry configured to; monitor wireless communications by one or more communication devices in a geographic area proximate to the handheld device; determine if the wireless communications meet at least one threshold criteria; and provide an indication that a first communication device within the geographic area is to wirelessly communicate with a second communication device in response to the at least one threshold criteria being met or provide an indication that the first communication device is to communicate with the second communication device via a wired connection in response to the at least one threshold criteria being met. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
