I am trying to do a checkWiFi() function, in order to verify if the esp8266 is connected to the internet.

Previously, I would declare a const char* ssid="SSID" & const char* password="PASSWORD" and I would execute several times the code WiFi.begin(ssid,password), in order to reconnect if the wifi connection was lost.

My question is: How can I do the WiFi.begin with the previously saved credentials using WiFiManager to try several times to connect to the saved wifi network?

I mean, if the connection is lost, the esp8266 will reset and put itself as AP to reconfigure the wifi settings (if the wifi network declared is temporarily off)
