I'm not up on drones in detail, but the little work I have done is that 
they have an endurance problem limiting them to something ranging from 
10-20 minutes typically... and that's without much of a load. If you 
were to add to that the extra draw from a router or the extra weight of 
it's battery then endurance would go down from there --- If, as 
suggested, you flew a wire for power or for an antenna then you'd have 
an even worse problem.

You might do better to use a drone to hang a payload from a fixed high 
object and retrieve it later.
