Netgear C7100V Router USB MIDI over Ethernet ?
Hi. Is it possible to connect a MIDI instrument that sends data over a standard USB Cable by plugging it into the router's USB port and have that device be recognized on the network in Windows 10? ...

You can't plug the MIDI USB jack directly into the router, you need something that translates USB MIDI to Network MIDI. There are programs for Mac, Linux and Windows computers, or dedicated hardware boxes that do what you want.
Read our survey for a good overview of network MIDI solutions. It's pretty fair - and includes open source software projects as well as commercial hardware solutions.
