    Can try finding some thin sized more flexable LAN cables at places like Amazon, Monoprice or Deepsurplus. 

    Or try this, connect one Non Managed switched behind the RS Router. Then connect all of your ethernet cables to this switch.

    Sounds to me like there might be too much strain on the cables themselves.  Some of the higher cable grades (shielded, etc) are pretty stiff, so not as flexible as others.

     

    Getting more slack in the cables near the router should solve it.  There are adhesive cable clips you can purchase - those can help keep the cables in place.
