Nighthawk X4S R7800 showing wrong country or location

Not sure that I follow all of those answers. Let's stick with this bit:

However when connected to the nighthawk wifi (it uses the same SSID as Sky) when I surf the internet or use apps on either my phone / desktop it thinks im in another country. 

What tells you that? - i use the same name and password for the nighthawk as I wouldve used for the sky router. 

 

This doesn't say what tells you that you are in "another country".

Using the same name and password has nothing to do with the country.

There are two "name and password" options here.

One option is the GUI access for the Sky router and the R7800 in AP mode.

The other is for the wifi. (More accurately these are the SSID and the "passphrase", but people often call them "name and password".)

Neither of these has anything to do with the country.

Or maybe you are talking about the name and password for your Sky Internet service. If the R7800 is in router mode, you enter that in the GUI to get the thing to connect through the Sky modem/router. In AP modem, the R7800 does not require that information. If it does you are not in AP mode.

You say that the GUI shows Europe as the region. That's as it should be. There is no UK region for wifi. The dimwitted Conservative government has yet to rule that Brexit means that we can cut the country off from the rest of the planet with our own wifi standards. So we have the same wifi standards as the rest of Europe.

So I am still left wondering what tells you that you are in another country.
