problem with DI-604

[Special K]

Has anyone else with a Dlink DI-604 router noticed that the CAT5 cables barely stay in the jacks? If I plug one into the router and then barely tap it with my foot or something, the cable comes loose. If I plug it in and pick up the router and tilt it downwards, the cable falls out completely. This is ridiculous. I've never seen any networking jack that couldn't hold a cord in by itself. Do I have a defective unit or what?

You sure it's not just your cables?

They're just Belkin standard CAT5e cables that I've been using for about 2 years now. I've never had this problem with any other device that I've plugged them into.

If you've been using them for 2 years, the clip may have lost some of it's "spring." I'd try new cables before blaming the router. It just seems weird that a router would have all its ports too large.

Just tried a new cable and it still has the same problem...
