I've discovered there can be an issue with the antenna on the esp32s3 devkit c (at least with some of the clones). Try putting your finger on the antenna & see if it solves the problem. My board would connect out of the enclosure but not in the enclosure when the antenna was close to other parts. I ended up doing the external antenna mod which worked a treat.
Great. Thanks for sharing updates that your issue has been resolved with external antenna. I suggest like if you have really good range requirement and your ESP32 board is used into Enclosure then I would suggest to use external antenna instead of in-built antenna.

Also, you need to make sure placement of antenna in such as way that less interference would be there.

Still let me know if you have any query for the same.
