Unable to connect to Wifi via USB... Not more via AP

Description

I use an ESP32-C3 brand new so I have flashed file named "espectre-2.8.0-esp32c3.bin"

After flashing perfectly, I rebooted the device and wanted to pair on my local Wifi. After selecting the wifi in drop down list, I enter the password but it fails. I did this 5 or 6 times. I also tested a second Wifi but same. Both Wifi are 2,4 and 5 Ghz (one is personal wifi, second is IoT dedicated. Wifi come from Ubiquiti controller and antennas (3 antennas).

Then i did the same using AP connection. I select the same wifi in the drop down list and enter the same password and it seem working... But no !

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to '...'
2. Configure '...'
3. Run '...'
4. See error

Expected Behavior

I can connect the ESP32-C3 to wifi via USB link.

Actual Behavior

I cannot connect. Need to use AP link but not better

Crash Debug Files (if applicable)

If your bug involves a crash (kernel panic, guru meditation, stack overflow, segmentation fault, etc.), please attach the following files to help with debugging:

• .elf file: The compiled firmware binary with debug symbols
• .map file: The memory map file showing symbol addresses

These files are located in your build directory:

• ESPHome: .esphome/build/<device-name>/.pioenvs/<device-name>/firmware.elf and firmware.map
