Hi Ricardo,

I was setting up a new igate with a fellow OM from my region over the phone, and he made a mistake in his WiFi passphrase during the initial setup.

After saving the config, the module tried to connect, but didn't report the WiFi password was invalid.
It would make the configuration step less confusing if, when a bad WiFi password is configured, the screen displayed an error screen like below for 4~6ish seconds prior to switching back to config hotspot mode:

SSID: your_SSID
Bad WiFi passphrase
Double check settings

Hi Celestine,

New branch "WiFi-Password-error-management" for LoRa_APRS-iGate has this correction implemented, I've tested locally with Lora32 board and seems to work. Please confirm to add this to main when you can.
