I attempted to connect to my pi to do an update. I can VNC connect to the pi but when I attempt to run node red I receive this:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638  
throw err;  
^

Error: Cannot find module '/home/pi/red'

at bootstrapNodeJSCore (internal/bootstrap/node.js:623:3)  
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

Even though my i can log in via VNC the wifi symbol keeps attempting to connect also. Can anyone tell me whats happening.

How exactly are you trying to run node-red? What command are you using?

Sorry after further examination node red seems to be running fine but the wifi on the pi isnt.
