Connecting to WiFi without serial activation

Hello all,

Using Arduino UNO WiFi Rev2
Connecting to an unencrypted network
Lighting three LEDs using the arduino as a server.

I'm trying to figure out how I can activate the code without the use of Arduino IDE's Serial Monitor. eg I'd like this to be wireless and powered by a 9v battery via the DC jack.

I'm new so bear with me. I assumed that it has to do with one of the "while" commands, that should be removed. But can't quite figure it out. Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

  WiFi Web Server LED Blink

 A simple web server that lets you blink an LED via the web.
 This sketch will print the IP address of your WiFi module (once connected)
 to the Serial Monitor. From there, you can open that address in a web browser
 to turn on and off the LED on pin 9.

 If the IP address of your board is yourAddress:
 http://yourAddress/H turns the LED on
 http://yourAddress/L turns it off

 This example is written for a network using WPA encryption. For
 WEP or WPA, change the WiFi.begin() call accordingly.

 Circuit:
 * Board with NINA module (Arduino MKR WiFi 1010, MKR VIDOR 4000 and UNO WiFi Rev.2)
 * LED attached to pin 9

All the serial stuff looks like diagnostics. I don't see anything that would stop it running if you just give it power.

That's what I was thinking, but it wasn't connecting so I assumed it was in there somewhere. I wonder if my battery isn't providing enough juice. I'll try connecting it to the outlet.

Yeahh there we go! Me spilling over the code for an hour.. oh, battery is nearly dead.

Thanks for the help I probably would have kept assuming it was the code..
