question about WIFI locations

When accessing website on my laptop or WIFI only iPad for online purchases, they alway have my location somewhere other than my location. I am on WIFI only thru Netgear AX1800 router.

What modem/gateway is it connected to? 

Are you using icloud relay or private mac/ip address on it?

    We use fiber from Zito Media. We do not use iCloud. Not real technical but was wondering where your location come from when WIFI only. Seems to only be internet, on Google maps my location is accurate.
