Orbi RBR20 incorrect physical location
We recently moved and took our Orbi RBR20 with us. In Google Maps it indicated the current location as my previous home address. I changed the MAC address from 'Default' to 'Computer'. After reboo...
I temp swapped out the Orbi with my sister's old router, and it worked perfectly. It's something in my Orbi.
Does the sister's old WiFi system have the same SSID and MAC address as the Orbi?
I have dumped the entire configuration file from my Orbi and there is no street address in it.
I'm not sure what the MAC and SSID addresses are for her router, and I understnnd that there is no physical address in the router. But, something in either the MAC or SSID is teling me that I am still at my old house
What sort of device is running Google Maps?
It's not just Google Maps on my PC but also on Waze, and also similar apps on my wife's Mac using Safari.
Anything that depends on WiFi seems to point to the incorrect location.I most likely will have to factory reset the device and set it up again.
