GEO Location incorrect
I have two PCs connected to the home network.
One has the Geo location incorrect, and I've lost my patience looking for help, browsing forums and message boards, and getting into dead ends.
Xfinity charges me a huge amount of money monthly and I should NOT have to be browsing for help for something I haven't caused.
BTW, I went to the physical store near my home to look for help only to have an employee giving me worst attitude and asking in with the most sarcastic tone "Why having your PC reporting you in the wrong state stops you from renting movies?"
As if I need to explain to a so called costumer service provider why having accurate geo location is important.
I live in Oakland Park, FL. My PC sees me in Rockford, Illinois.
It seems the only response in this forum is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I may have to switch companies, I've lost my desire to deal with this.
Is there any actual help or am I only going to receive links to 3rd parties companies that "I" am supposed to contact?

So you are saying that one of them is correct ? And they both are connected to the same router / gateway device ?

First, let me just say that I've never heard of this before. Ok so if it was both, it would be caused by incorrect r/DNS - geolocation data of the WAN / public IP address assigned to your router by your ISP. Since it is only one of them, please see if anything here applies;

YMMV. Good luck !

I doubt it, but hey, anything is possible. If it were a problem with the gateway or your public IP, both PC's would be wrong.
