1. A method for performing wireless network setup without pairing, the method comprising:
scanning, by a client device, for a wireless connection that is being advertised by a peripheral device, wherein the wireless connection uses a first wireless communication protocol;
without pairing with the peripheral device, transmitting, by the client device to the peripheral device, using the first wireless communication protocol, a request and a first universally unique identifier (UUID) mapped to the request;
in response to the request mapped to the first UUID, receiving, by the client device from the peripheral device, using the first wireless communication protocol, a second UUID and a listing of one or more wireless networks within range of the peripheral device, wherein:
the listing of the one or more wireless networks is mapped to the second UUID and each wireless network of the one or more wireless networks uses a second wireless communication protocol;
receiving, by the client device, user input selecting a wireless network from the one or more wireless networks; and
transmitting, by the client device, using the first wireless communication protocol, a third UUID with the selected wireless network, wherein the peripheral device connects to the selected wireless network using the second wireless communication protocol.
