Orbi blocking location on Home Pod and iPad

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?

Has a reboot of the RBR after the v60 was loaded or just update and continue? 

One of the reasons that can cause such strange -unjustifiable- issues is having double NAT in your network. If your ISP modem is acting as a router and does NATing on the incoming WAN traffic then this can cause different issues since Orbi is also doing NATing. You need to check if you have double NAT.

Please open a Command Prompt on any computer attached to Orbi and type:

> tracert 8.8.8.8    (or traceroute 8.8.8.8 if you're using a Mac computer)

1. If you see two private IP addresses listed in the first two hops then you have double NAT. Please check the model of your ISP modem and if you have a manual for it.
2. If you see only one private address and the second hop shows a public address, then you’re all good and we need then to troubleshoot further to find the root cause of the issue,

It seems that the recent firmware update is preventing my iPad and Home Pod from knowing my location. For example, my iPad can’t figure out what time zone I am in, but if I go to my neighbor’s house, it updates just fine.

This problem happens if you had installed a new router or wireless system and used a different network name (SSID). As long as no devices with GPS supported location connect to your network, and they allow location sharing, the cloud database will never learn where the network is connected.

Nothing a router, a firewall, an ISP, ... can do or block.

Same applies to Apple, Google, and other vendors maintaining a global location database.
