He wasnt well informed and wasnt able to compute the dimensions of the Wardencliffe tower, like we could using modern computers. He was a pioneer and not many of that time were able to understand his technology even by some degree.
The Ionosphere conducts somehow, and he planned to tap earth potentials then send HF into the clouds.
You would need to send many gigawatts. Actually he did light up fluoro tubes miles away- probably with a tuned receiving device and sending out far more than what in the end, arrived.
Wifi is pretty crap for energy transmission since the microwaves distribute from a small antenna all over the place.
Not including losses, the density of energy decreases exponentially if it is not directed like into a narrow beam.
So, over 5 metres, it expands from a small transmitter point into an area of many square metres.
Then from that, an area as large as your antenna taps into that.
Then you have transmission losses, and conversion losses.
Not to speak of reflections spreading all over the place, and partially cancelling out each other.
It wont even light a LED from an ordinary Wifi device. Besides, the emitted energy isnt very much to start with.
Its a weak signal, not an energy transmission.
