Further update
It occasionally  finds an IP address (always different) but if I try to do  OTA update it will not connect to WiFi at the end

Hi Jim,

Do you really have the possibility to do OTA? You have to see the WD IP address in your Arduino IDE:
   

And another recommendation: In your DHCP server, define the IP address that suits you based on the hardware MAC address.
But this is not at all important for the moment. The important thing is to see the IP address as it is in the picture.
If you could not see it, you probably have your computer on other parts of your network than your WD.
