Pros
- Hybrid powerline support frees up an outlet.
- Less expensive than router, AV adapter separately.
Cons
- Poor documentation on setting up HomePlug AV.
- No 5ghz Wi-Fi or gigabit ethernet.
Bottom Line
The Netgear WNXR2000 is basically a midrange Wi-Fi router bundled with a HomePlug AV brick and a special cable--not the most elegant way to integrate the two network technologies.
