WIFI Location

Hi, apologies if this has been answered before. I recently had trouble with my home WIFI; the modem stopped working, they sent out a new modem but when I use any location services on either my PC or android devices it shows a location 3 - 4 hours away. As soon as I leave the house and use mobile data my location updates immediately.

I searched for other posts online and the suggestion was disabling google location services and then enabling again shortly after but had no luck.

Any suggestions?

*As the location updates when i walk outside and shows correctly I called my ISP thinking they could update something on their end but they said they have never heard of this issue before.

Re: WIFI Location

Have you checked the time setting in your new router? If it's set to the wrong timezone, it might cause a problem.

Re: WIFI Location

The location that is showing incorrectly is still in the same time zone, I live in Birmingham, UK, but it is incorrectly showing as Manchester UK.

The router is showing the correct time zone.
