xbee and arduino wifi shield

I’m in the middle of a project at the moment that takes data from an arduino with an xbee s2 connected to it and sends that data to a coordinator xbee connected to an arduino.

What i’m trying to do at the moment and failing is to send the data from the coordinator xbee to ThingSpeak via wifi.

I only have the normal arduino wifi shield thats piggy backed onto the arduino.

I’ve connected the xbee s2 to the 5v, ground and the Rx of the wifi shield.
I don’t have access to any other shields and was hoping that it would be a straight forward thing but alas not.

When i receive data from the end device to the coordinator attached to the arduino, i’m able to see that data. I also have a sensor on the coordinator arduino that i wish to push to ThingSpeak. The issue arrises when i try to receive data from the end device and then push it through the wifi sheild.

I really just don’t know if its my code, wiring error or compatibility issues with the xbee and the wifi shield.

This is my code

Thanks in advance

I don’t know anything about the Wifi shield you are referring to but I can tell you is that if you are getting the data from the XBee, then it is not an issue with the XBee side of it. You might want to ask this question on a forum that is devoted to Arduino products as then the right folks will see it.
