Anyone have a size or part number of barrel plug that is correct for this? There must be something out there that exactly matches the original.

Sorry I don't have any solid evidence as to why this would work, or the full reasoning behind it. I just know it works for us.
Actually, we just isolated the power converter from the frame and it appears to have solved it. We have not lost the D-Link since! Thank you for the suggestion. We removed the radio and just plugged in the connector and could not get it to reset with banging, jerking, or pulling on the power connector.

Can you do me a favor? Measure the resistance from any lead on the convertor to the aluminum case with the power removed. You can report here or PM me the results. In the past these convertors had an isolated case, I am wondering if that has changed.

This year I designed a bracket to hold in the power cable on the D-Link. We printed ours on our new Makerbot Replicator 2X so it is an ABS 3D printed part. Here is the link to the thingiverse page http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:253560
Hope it helps and good luck to all.
