Hi,

I want to run a full Bitcoin node (including a whole up-to-date blockchain) from a USB-powered device connected to the router.

Ideally one USB port should be used to run and power the device/s, but it can be two ports.

This far, I had searched and only aware of another (DD-WRT flashable) router with a USB drive or phone/berry device connected to it which is not a solution.

I want to use a proprietary-softwared Technicolor routers, which allow USB devices to be connected as a network storage. If the device I need is using wireless or a LAN port it should be okay as long as it gets all its power from the router (which will be modified to always run in a full power mode).

The routers I’m interested in so far are Technicolor/Thomson/SpeedTouch TG582n, TG587n, and TG797n.  Modified firmware can/will be provided.

TIA for all your suggestions.
