The lan side of the router could be POE powered, connecting to an internal POE switch.

Heck, the POE switch could be on the WAN sorry just using VLAN tagging.

Or just a POE injector anywhere.

I'm not objecting to the barrel plug, it works its serviceable it's reliable. I just have a lot of equipment, and therefore a lot of extra gear, with POE injection so it would be convenient and clean up my rack

You can get a POE breakout that has a barrel plug end? Extra hardware, but I don't hate the modularity.

That's a great point, id didn't even consider it.

They exist! So yeah, it's possible!

If it works for you, great. To me that's a risk of more stuff that could break and cause problems when you could just have a DC barrel and move on.

I can definitely think of some edge cases where it would be handy though.
