Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers highlight the XAV2001’s simplicity, compact form factor and eco‑friendly packaging, noting it works well for connecting single entertainment devices via Ethernet. The main criticism from editors is the absence of any Wi‑Fi capability, which limits its appeal for users expecting a wireless solution.
What Users Say
Everyday users generally praise the ease of installation, small size and energy‑saving features, but repeatedly mention that the 200 Mbps speed ceiling feels outdated for modern broadband and that the lack of Wi‑Fi is a disappointment.
Common Complaints
Users commonly complain about the limited 200 Mbps throughput and the absence of Wi‑Fi functionality, making the adapter less useful for high‑definition streaming or multi‑device environments.
What People Are Saying
“perfect for connecting HDTVs, Blu-ray players, DVRs, PCs and game consoles”
How It Compares
vs. Netgear PVB3000
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose the PVB3000 when you need gigabit‑class speeds and better range; stick with XAV2001 for simple, low‑cost single‑device connections.
vs. TP‑Link TL‑PA4010
Advantages
Disadvantages
Select the TL‑PA4010 for moderate speed needs and outlet convenience; the XAV2001 remains the better option for ultra‑compact, environmentally conscious setups.
