DLink / D-Link resets going over bumps! Thoughts?

Our programming team has been using the DLink (D-Link) DAP-1522. Life is great if robot is on blocks or on a test board. However, while running over carpet, it will set a bump in the carpet and viola - communications are lost and the unit can be seen rebooting itself.

Question 1: Anyone having issues with either the power momentarily being lost on their DLink or accidentally being reset?

More Info:
-DLink is securely on the robot
-all electrical connections from PDB (pwr board) to converter to barrel-plug and into DLink all look fine and are secure

-We do have additional DLink and will try those as well and see if the issue continues.
-If it continues, we may crack-open the DLink and possibly solder the power connector to the board - bypassing the code-barrel-plug/power-jack.

Question 2: Thoughts? anything else to try.
