Does the Nighthawk R7000P support PoE

I've read through the manual but can't find any information on this.  I want to hook up a device that uses power over ethernet (PoE).  Do any of the gigabit ethernet ports on the R7000P support PoE and if so, how much power can they supply?

 

Thanks in advnace for your input.

       I'd call that suggestive.  If the router User Manual fails to
    mention PoE, then I'd bet that the router doesn't have a built-in PoE
    power supply.

     

       You should be able to get a PoE power supply/injector which is
    compatible with your (unspecified) "a device", and use it with the
    R7000P, but the same would be true for practically any router which has
    no PoE capability.

     

       I'd guess that it'd be easier to find a network switch with some PoE
    capability than it would be to find a consumer-grade router with it.
