1. A method, comprising:

  • receiving, using a transceiver of a first device, a first message including a value indicative of a first timeout interval, wherein the first timeout interval is indicative of a time required for configuring a second device to operate as one of a peer-to-peer (P2P) group owner or a P2P client in a P2P wireless network, and wherein the configuring of the second device includes downloading, to the second device from a host computing device in which the second device is included, a set of machine readable instructions executable to operate the second device as the one of the P2P group owner or the P2P client;

    determining a value of a second timeout interval based at least on the first timeout interval;

    determining whether the second timeout interval expired;

    determining whether a second message is received from the second device prior to the second timeout interval expiring; and

    determining that a P2P connection with the second device failed based on determining that the second message was not received from the second device prior to the second timeout interval expiring.
