Cant autoconnect to network in AP mode

[xserg]

The case when the device and router lost power, and device up first before router. Device started in AP, and when wifi up it cant connect to in without reboot. Actually wifimamager did it perfectly.
May be some setting would be useful for it?

There is a time out period defined on the top: https://github.com/r-downing/PersWiFiManager/blob/master/PersWiFiManager.h

This appears to be partly solved by using the new nonblock code and handleWifi() calls.

I found that the ESP can end up unresponsive when you switch back and forth between AP and client mode when using WiFiManager (stable and dev branch). Perhaps PersWM will be more stable in this configuration?

I also found it very frustrating (with WiFiManager) when I was trying to configure a new AP and the silly thing keeps disconnecting to try client mode again in the middle of it. Really the only 100% satisfactory system is to add a reset button and only enter AP mode when it is pressed. However, that requires adding a physical reset button!
