you cannot flash a factory over http. It needs to be done via usb. So your partition layout is still not correct, you need to do a factory flash once. The pin usage is set for the atom s3 lite, you need to wire the correct pins.
you can only adjust the wifi by changing yaml, WiFi Component - ESPHome - Smart Home Made Simple
Are you running a board in the same batch (ordered at the same time?) as the cn105? You could have a bad one.
Your wifi strength plot was not really good tbh.

I know, did first over USB and next one OTA.
They are different boards, both ESP32-S3, had them laying around.
CNRF
CN105
Donât think itâs bad.. Device is inside hydrobox also.
-30 dBm: This is the maximum signal strength. If you have this measurement, you are likely standing right next to the access point.
-50 dBm: This is considered an excellent signal strength.
-60 dBm: This is a good signal strength.
-67 dBm: This is a reliable signal strength. This is the minimum for any online services that require a reliable connection and Wi-Fi signal strength.
-70 dBm: This is not a strong signal strength. You may be able to check your email.
-80 dBm: This is an unreliable signal strength.
Can this be done only, when compiling or this can be changed in HA also somehow?

your graph clearly shows signal strength ranging from -80 to -55

Yeah, those are erratic situations when the connection fails I think, most of the days itâs stable around -60dB.
ESP TX power issues from bad/cheap devices. Chip might be legit but flawed antenna designs are mostly the issues for that and remedy is to lower TX power. Adding additional capacitor to power input of ESP didnât help.

Found my wifi âjammerâ. It is MySensors nRF24L01 PA LNA (low TX power enabled) gateway/module on rasperri Pi that was close to router.
As it was from beginning
Tried a antenna mod ESP32-S3-Zero Antenna Modification | Peter's electric trick and electronic blog . Interesing behaviour, guess it didnât help overall, since router is close/2m.
switched off nRF gateway service and wifi returned normal.
switched nRF service back on and in about an hour later moved wifi router 0,5m from nRF.
CNRF gateway offline at 3 am, thatâs the time my wifi router auto restarts and after that CNRF canât connect to it
