I assume you're using one of the cords you got with the router, and not an aftermarket one? And that it's NOT tight/has strain relief?
I was sort of thinking the same thing, but I don't think that the "performance" is actually improved at all. It would just be able to preform correctly more often. I honestly don't think that anybody in the First community would have an issue with this, especially since there is nothing dangerous that could result (assuming you solder correctly and don't short out the connector.)
