Recently purchased a 2024 Reflection 150 295RL which came with a TravlFi Journey Router I've been testing. My question is if anyone knows if this is installed as a hardwired 12V connection, or just uses a 110V plug adapter. Trying to avoid opening up the wall or taking the distribution center out to look. The reason for the question is I already have a Victron Smart Shunt and Victron Smart Solar Controller and I'm considering putting in a Victron Cerbo GX so I can monitor the RV batteries and Solar controller remotely via VRM and would like to avoid having to run my inverter just to power the TravlFi Router. Thanks in advance for any insights.

It looks like this is your first post, welcome to the forum. If it came as original equipment I'm guessing it must be 12-volt since it wouldn't work otherwise when not plugged into shore power. To test you could simply disconnect from shore power and see if it still comes on. Alternatively, you could reach out to GD customer service with your VIN.
 
I just took possession of a 2024 295RL and have confirmed that the router/repeater is connected to 12v power source. I am watching my battery consumption and I am curious how others control which devices draw from the battery when the RV is not in use. I know I could simply unplug the router, but I am looking for a better solution. Can I disable it on the solar controller?

There's no way to disable a power use from the solar controller, the controller works with the energy coming from the solar panels on the way to the batteries. If I wanted to simply turn off the router, I might install an inline rocker switch. This one from Amazon should do the trick.
