try moving them to the same room (same circuit) and see if they work.
Problem with homes is everything powered, is on the powerline system. and if something is going bad or suddenly injecting interference in the system, then it causes problems.
So my first step is usually to have people move them to the same room to be on the same circuit. If they work, it isn't the devices.
If they don't, then you can try them at a different location as if the device going bad is injecting enough interference, it could even cause the problem on the same circuit.
If they do work fine on the same circuit, go around the home and start unplugging things. You might be surprised what can cause issues (like cheap cell phone chargers)
