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.

Have you got your PC added to the Geo-Filter?

If you type my location into Google search engine does it show correctly? Do it connected direct to the modem as well, do you get a different result?
