NETGEAR XR1000; Location

Hi,

 

I've recently moved in to another Property (8 days here) and have connected my XR1000 to the existing Modem/ISP here.

If I use Google Maps to identify my location on my PC, it shows me a pin about 58 mins drive from where I am.

 

If I use my iPhone, connected to the WiFi, Google Maps and other Apps locate me at my old address.

 

Just wondering what I can do to fix this.


Thanks

  • If you connect your PC/Mobile device directly to your ISP router/modem, do you still observe the same behaviour?

      Thanks for getting back to me.

      I've just tried this and no, the behaviour doesn't apply if connected directly to the ISP's router.
