Your home router is not battery powered (except for if you run it off a battery back up system). This is true, but I believe this thread started as a discussion of the capabilities of devices that aren't what we currently think of as "The home router" but still have routing functions, or have other interactions with Homenet which might be constrained. When specifying protocols for interoperability, the most-constrained device determines the capabilities.
