I doubt it. I did notice the issue got worse and over as the time went
on. It even tried to take 192.168.1.1 IP address own by the router. No
disconnections though.

I think I finally resetted them with their holes and their lights
finally stopped flashing. I can see their SSIDs, but MacBook Pro refuses
to connect to it. Same for their network cables. Weird. I wonder if they
got burned out since they get very hot (almost can't touch them) when in
used.
