Can the USB port on a router power a fan?

Or charge an iPod for that matter. Just wondering because I'm thinking about buying a router that some people say runs really hot, and I was hoping to cool it with a USB fan.

Yes you can but in my opinion better dont use the router USB port for only power supply and the better way is buy a USB hub which has external power supply.
