Orbi blocking location on Home Pod and iPad
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,...
My problem resolved itself after I moved. It must have had something to do with my former location.
Thanks for your reply.
I am moving and disconned the Orbi sattelite and packed it. Would that constitute a change? The problem may have started then.
Could you clarify this sentence: " 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." I have an iPhone with GPS connected. Do you mean the gps connected device is causing the cloud database not to learn?
That's possible that either your iOS device is not enabled to provide and share the (GPS) location data e.g. to Apple.
I have no idea how log it does take until a new network name and location is picked up.

Thanks. I think I would put this aside, wait until I move and see if the problem persists. I'll report back here if I learn anythng new.
