aarg, Thanks for the advice. So, I may be over my head on the WiFi. The goal for my project was to use an Arduino micro controller as an energy meter for the home. I have successfully wired my voltage and current inputs to the analog inputs and I get good data from using Serial Plotter. The problem is that I need my laptop connected to see the data. The goal was to eliminate the wire. That was a key requirement for the project. The only thing WiFi related that worked for me so far was the use of the ScanNetworks example that is in the Arduino software. The Wick bar signal is what I want to use.
