Router RBR50 location wrong
My brother upgraded and gave me his older router (RBR50) and 2 satellites (RB550's). My problem is that my browser now thinks that I am in LA (where he lives) instead of Washington where I live. I updated the firmware and did a reset to factory settings on all ORBIs. Using iMac with OS 11.4 I have no idea how to remedy this. Help!

Why blame the router for that?

Thanks. Research seems to indicate that the problem might be when I used the QR code on the app, as the router doesn't know where it is. It may be linked to my brother's Netgear login info.
You can set up the RBR using a web browser and PC or laptop connected to the RBR. You might do this first.
Good Luck.
