Cannot get correct location from tower
I had a Sagemcom gateway and it reported my location correctly. Because that gateway had issues T-Mobile replaced with anArcadyan. That gave me a location of Detroit, MI. Also theArcadyan was slower. When I heard the standby mode problem had been resolved withSagemcom I went back to one of those. Happily I get the original speed but it shows me in Chicago, IL. I get the same location problem on multiple PCs connected to the local network. Chrome, Firefox,. and Edge browsers all report the same wrong location. Probably someone at T-Mobile could resolve this but the problem is getting to the right person and explaining all aspects of the issue each time I talk to a different person. As a test I plugged a USB ethernet adapter into my cell phone USB port. I went to maps.google.com and a couple of other web sites. With cellular data turned on it reports where I am. With cellular data and location services turned off it says I am in Chicago the same as what the PC says. The websitehttps://www.whatismyip.com/gives excellent information on the issue. I contacted the three IP locationdatabase services mentioned. It seems T-Mobile should fix this, though. I'm hoping someone has experience with this issue. It causes occasional problems.645Visto1like7Comentarios
