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

In regards to the power cord (barrel plug), it's connected in such a way that the barrel plug end doesn't have any tension on it. No strain on the power cord.

I suppose what we could do is rig it such that the plug has no way of moving in the DLink power jack connector.

I know I'm 'reaching' but any thought that whatever mechanisim is used to reset the unit (you know, that little pin hole) might be connecting and causing the unit to reset?

Two thoughts on my part have been to (a) solder the power cable directly to the motherboard of the DLink and (b) ensuring that there is nothing in the area of the reset button mechanism that could be causing a momentary closing of a circuit.
