Seeing how this is actually a Java coding question, I am migrating it over to the Java forum.

Without JNI (Java Native Interface) Java doesn't know anything about WiFi networks, as a matter of fact Java doesn't know anything about wired networks either. All it knows about are sockets, IP addresses, and stuff built on top of that.

kind regards,

The lowest level stuff Java can do is open a socket given an IP address (or a host name but you need to do a reverse dns lookup for that) and a port number. Java is totally unaware of the hardware interfaces underneath.
