Location is now different
When I received my new router from xfinity it first said Baltimore fir Location…now it says Ashburn VA. Does anyone know why it does this.

FWIW. I have since added this to my boilerplate posting from two years ago but it won't apply to you if you are using a Comcast rented gateway device. They do not have a cloning feature;
"If you are using a router that has a MAC address cloning feature, you can clone a different MAC address into it. This will force a change of your Comcast assigned WAN / public IP address. No guarantees that the new address won't also have incorrect geo-data as it may be from the same block of IP's. YMMV."
Good luck !
