R7000 with Raspberry Pi zero-w Pi-hole
I intend to setup a Raspberry pi zero -w with pi-hole for DNS serving on my r7000 network.
Pi is powered via mini USB. Do either of the Router USB ports provide power?
save to use this port to power only the PI/
Thank you
it should be enough.
My brother uses a rasberry pi 2 off the R7000's usb port with success. the pi zero has lower power requirements.
But the more accessories you add, the higher the power requirements run.
My brothers has nothing connected to it other than power/ethernet.

All USB ports provide power; it's part of the spec. The question is
whether it's enough, but it should be safe to run the experiment.it should be enough.
