  And even USB2 ports supply enough power (5V at 500mA) for external
USB2 and USB3 2.5" HDDs.

  In fact only my very first 160GB Iomega eGo 2.5" USB2 external drive
had an Y-cable with two USB-A connectors, in case a single computer port
could not supply enough power. Ever since, all 5 other drives have just
a single connector.

  Of course, the OPs router's USB-port *could* be a 'minimal' one,
supplying at little as 100mA, but that's not very likely.

  In the meantime, the OP has mentioned that his drive works on the
router's USB-port (but he can not yet get it to work as a Network
Share), so the power (non-)issue is moot.
