Why has the price of this gone up by 45% in the three months?

Sorry for this issue, we have been offering promotional price for half year after we launch this product. Recently, we are encountering uprising cost on logistics, and insufficient stock condition etc. We strive for offering the best price for our customers.

How is it powered? may not always have shore power on my boat but will have 12v system and a usb charging socket.

Dear customer, You can plug the Type-C power cable into the power port of the router. Please make sure you are using a standard 5V/3A power adapter. We hope the above is useful to you. Thank you. Sincerely, GL.iNet

Does this support two separate 2.4 ghz channels or just one? i.e. are there two radios for 2.4 ghz?

There will be one 2.4 ghz channel and one 5 ghz channel.

If i run my nord account on this device what speeds would i get, i usually get around 150mbps. would this mean i only get around 12?

The maximum speed of Wireguard is 65Mbps, while max speed of OpenVPN is 12Mbps.
