Huawei B535 WiFi location issue - anyone help?

Hi all

As above, am using the Three-Supplied Huawei B535.

We recently took it away with us on holidays around 100miles away from our home (still within the same country however).

Upon returning home however, it appears that our WiFi connected devices all report our location as the previous area in which we took our holidays!

That means weather apps on Kids kindles, Google Maps location on my phone, photo locations on my wife's iPhone.

Anyone offer any advice as to how we can reset/update?

It *has* to be the B535 as it's the only common thing to all devices.

Am at a loss how to fix!

Thanks in advance.
 
Would this not be more likely to be related to shared individual account information across the devices? i.e. when you were away from home, family devices updated their location data on a device and shared that via their account (likely google) to their other devices?
 
Just guessing, but try this if @Pwablo's advice doesn't come up trumps.

Disconnect a device from the WiFi,

Go here http://192.168.8.1/html/content.html#devicemanagement

Delete the device by clicking on the trash icon.

Then reconnect the device.

See if that helps.

If not then the routers location must be locked to the last location for some reason, try switching off the router, remove the sim card and boot the router without the sim card, then switch off the router, put the sim back in and boot.

It's to do with the routers mac address and it being associated with a particular location. It will update after a while by using a mobile handset connected to the router by wifi with GPS switched on and using google maps for example which will eventually update the look up table. It would sort itself out eventually by itself though.
Had this issue with a landline router I had from ebay for a while. Took some days if I remember before it "located" where it was.
 
Mr Choo is correct - it's just correlating the available data. Stand outside whilst connected to WiFi and open Google Maps and get a strong GPS connection. Do this a few times and it should update itself within a short space of time.
 
Same reason frequently being on Three logs you out of google and your web-based mail accounts periodically, because the location of the core has changed.
