IP address

My IP address for the wifi at my house changed to a city I am not located in. How do I get my IP address for my wifi back to being in my true location?

Happens.  rDNS/geolocation depends on 3rd party databases.  It's not all that reliable.  IP blocks get shuffled around with equipment changes. You can help them update their databases, try this:

It's very annoying for streaming apps like Sling that depend on location to deliver local content.  If that is the issue you are having, you'll have better luck contacting the service directly.
