Cowboy's a great description - if you're talking the right kind of cowboys - the ones that get the job done regardless of the situation. :) If not a USB power pack, you could probably disconnect the warning buzzer on a commodity UPS and that'd do the job, if you had space. The constraints are a bit vague so it's hard to be more specific :) James On Fri, 23 Dec 2016, at 19:50, Karl Auer wrote:

As cowboy as that sounds, it would work mint :P
It may sound "cowboy", but it's not. It's a good engineering solution to the problem as given, using off-the-shelf components (and possibly a custom cable if you cannot choose a USB-powered router).
Our use case involved only a few days of service, so we used gaffer tape and cable-ties. A more permanent solution would warrant a nicer mount. You could probably get a nice off-the-shelf enclosure.
