Subject: [PATCH] Fix 8266 WiFi

WiFi for 8266 devices wasn't working. WiFi.reconnect() shouldn't be called every time it checks the connection. I made it so it doesn't restart anymore, but that can be added back in if called for. It now waits 10 seconds for a connection, then calls WiFi.reconnect().
