M$1.00 Funded By Mahalo ? | March 20, 2009 01:57 AM

Using my ipod touch on my home WiFi, location services show that I am in Sacramento but I am not. Can this be fixed?

How can you change the location in the router to your actual location?

Netgear WiFi Router, ATT DSL internet. Mostly Macs in the house.

This is probably because the center your internet connection is coming from is in Sacramento. It's not hardware based. This can't really be fixed unless you decide this is reason to change ISPs to one closer to you.

Asker's Rating:

• Thanks. I was not sure if this was a hardware issue or a ISP issue. Thanks for clarifying.
