ESP32-WROOM-32 Rev1 wont connect After Upgrade

[JacoFourie]

Hi all. I have not looked at the Arduino / ESP32 platform for some years. I now need to build some projects again. I have 5 ESPDUINO boards that used to work fine connecting to the WiFi network. I wanted to start using the WiFi Managers and for that, I had to upgrade a lot of libraries. I did not write down the version of WiFi I was on that worked. After the upgrade, the WiFi of these boards no longer wants to connect. I load the simple WiFiClientStaticIP sketch and send it to the board. All it will do is print out ....... without connecting. I tied to roll back but then WiFi Manager no longer compiles. So has something in the ESP32 / Ardiono Core changed that the older ESP32 WROOM Chips no longer work?
