What have you actually got?
Does anything show on the Serial terminal?
Should be some garbage when you switch on followed by a product message with ready then it will take the AT commands
Then if your SSID and password are correct it will connect to Access Point

The standard setting seems to be AT+CWMODE=2, which is AP mode only.

To scan for wifi networks you have to enable STA mode or else the module will only return "ERROR"
