In summary, the person is working on a project involving wi-fi based home automation using a PIC 18f4520 micro-controller. They are seeking assistance in connecting the controller module to wi-fi and determining the appropriate module and type of communication needed. After some research, it appears that the chosen PIC may not be suitable, but Microchip offers an embedded Wi-Fi solution that is compatible with a PIC32.

With only doing some cursory research, I think the PIC you chose might not be able to handle it. However, Microchip offers an embedded Wi-Fi solution that's compatible with a PIC32. Check this link out here:
