Aspects of the disclosure enable location of a wireless peripheral by a computing device even when the wireless peripheral is beyond a communication range of, or otherwise inaccessible by, the computing device. A user gives a command to a first computing device to determine the location of the wireless peripheral. The first computing device requests other networked computing devices to locate the wireless peripheral. At least one of the other networked computing devices establishes communication with the wireless peripheral, obtains location information for the wireless peripheral, and communicates the location information to the first computing device. The first computing device communicates the location of the wireless peripheral to the user.
