Create web server using the rp2040 connect that connected to the Internet

Hello, I was able to create an access point and create a web server demo to control the RGB on my nano, but I want to create a server that is connected to my Wi-Fi internet as I will be able to use the WiFi.getTime() to get the current Unix time.
So in short, how do I create a web server that is connected to the internet.
Thanks!

there is no dependency between AP mode and Web/TCP Server.
you can run a tcp server on any network.

Can you show me how can I do it?
I used this code to create a webserver with the acsess point. What do I need to change so it will be on my house network?

include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFiNINA.h>

char ssid[] = "yournetwork";        // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "yourpassword";    // your network password (use for WPA, or use as key for WEP)
int keyIndex = 0;                // your network key index number (needed only for WEP)

int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS;
WiFiServer server(80);

void setup() {
  //Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
  }

  Serial.println("Access Point Web Server");

  pinMode(LEDR, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LEDG, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LEDB, OUTPUT);

  // check for the WiFi module:
  if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_MODULE) {
    Serial.println("Communication with WiFi module failed!");
    // don't continue
    while (true);
  }

  String fv = WiFi.firmwareVersion();
  if (fv < WIFI_FIRMWARE_LATEST_VERSION) {
    Serial.println("Please upgrade the firmware");
  }

  // by default the local IP address will be 192.168.4.1
  // you can override it with the following:
  // WiFi.config(IPAddress(10, 0, 0, 1));

  // print the network name (SSID);
  Serial.print("Creating access point named: ");
  Serial.println(ssid);

  // Create open network. Change this line if you want to create an WEP network:
  status = WiFi.beginAP(ssid, pass);
  if (status != WL_AP_LISTENING) {
    Serial.println("Creating access point failed");
    // don't continue
    while (true);
  }

  // wait 10 seconds for connection:
  delay(10000);

  // start the web server on port 80
  server.begin();

  // you're connected now, so print out the status
  printWiFiStatus();
}


void loop() {
  // compare the previous status to the current status
  if (status != WiFi.status()) {
    // it has changed update the variable
    status = WiFi.status();

    if (status == WL_AP_CONNECTED) {
      // a device has connected to the AP
      Serial.println("Device connected to AP");
    } else {
      // a device has disconnected from the AP, and we are back in listening mode
      Serial.println("Device disconnected from AP");
    }
  }
  
  WiFiClient client = server.available();   // listen for incoming clients

   if (client) {                             // if you get a client,
    Serial.println("new client");           // print a message out the serial port
    String currentLine = "";                // make a String to hold incoming data from the client
    while (client.connected()) {            // loop while the client's connected
      if (client.available()) {             // if there's bytes to read from the client,
        char c = client.read();             // read a byte, then
        Serial.write(c);                    // print it out the serial monitor
        if (c == '\n') {                    // if the byte is a newline character

          // if the current line is blank, you got two newline characters in a row.
          // that's the end of the client HTTP request, so send a response:
          if (currentLine.length() == 0) {
            // HTTP headers always start with a response code (e.g. HTTP/1.1 200 OK)
            // and a content-type so the client knows what's coming, then a blank line:
            client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
            client.println("Content-type:text/html");
            client.println();

            // the content of the HTTP response follows the header:
            client.print("<style>");
            client.print(".container {margin: 0 auto; text-align: center; margin-top: 100px;}");
            client.print("button {color: white; width: 100px; height: 100px;");
            client.print("border-radius: 50%; margin: 20px; border: none; font-size: 20px; outline: none; transition: all 0.2s;}");
            client.print(".red{background-color: rgb(196, 39, 39);}");

            client.print(".off{background-color: grey;}");
            client.print("button:hover{cursor: pointer; opacity: 0.7;}");
            client.print("</style>");
            client.print("<div class='container'>");
            client.print("<button class='red' type='submit' onmousedown='location.href=\"/RH\"'>ON</button>");
            client.print("<button class='off' type='submit' onmousedown='location.href=\"/RL\"'>OFF</button><br>");

            client.print("<button class='off' type='submit' onmousedown='location.href=\"/BL\"'>OFF</button>");
            client.print("</div>");

            // The HTTP response ends with another blank line:
            client.println();
            // break out of the while loop:
            break;
          } else {    // if you got a newline, then clear currentLine:

          }

didn't you see the WiFiWebServer example of the WiFiNINA library
