Whatever you do, don't get sucked into anything too complicated.
What with your powerline setup, and the intended us, you don't need lots of bells and whistles, especially the newest wifi stuff which seems to be causing great grief as the standard settle down. You are right to beware AX.
I'd say stick to your budget. For $200 you can get something of a workhorse nature.
I am happy with my ageing R7800, one of the least troublesome routers discussed around here.

I've been researching for hours, and for my needs, my existing 60 mbps download service is probably enough. I only get 20 mbps through powerline which I guess isn't an unusual drop, and getting more mbps from my ISP was an attempt to 'force through' better speed in the powerline, but that may not happen.
Another thing, I'm reading reviews about people having hours of problems with Netgear setup, because like me they didn't own a smartphone where the new Netgear app has to go, is by far my biggest concern about getting anything.
