you can try it and see.  Thats the only way I think you going to find out.

Could I power the Mikrotik from the Zyxel, should I, should I not?

Surely it depends upon:

• The supply capability of the PSU powering the ZyXEL device.
• The maximum current that can be drawn from ZxYEL device's USB port.

I think you might be pushing it somewhat as I would only expect the Zyxel USB to be a standard 500mA one (ie 2.5 Watts).
