Hi,

First of all, thanks for building an awesome library that many people can build on. I'm using this library for a Wi-Fi information lcd screen, and working great so far.

There's just the edge case where someone's Wi-Fi connection can be unstable. With the current code, the device immediately discards Wi-Fi credentials and starts the AP if there is no Wi-Fi connection. I would love the option to retry a few times before discarding these credentials, as now, I have to re-setup my Wi-Fi connection a few times a day, just because the Wi-Fi connection drops sometimes.

If this is possible with existing functions and some coding, please point me in the right direction, and I'll create a pull request.

Cheers
