So I'm having a very odd problem ever since I upgraded my router and modem earlier this week, which so far only seems to be affecting HTC One M8 phones (because haven't been able to test others).
So last weekend I bought a brand new modem and set it up, and a few days later i bought a refurbished router from Amazon and set that up too. While setting up the router I connected my M8 to the wifi network (had not connected to the wifi after buying the modem), and soon noticed that my phones location was changed to Denver, Colorado...instead of New Jersey where I actually live. Because of that, it gives me the time, weather, and directions from CO. After messing around with the settings on my phone, I found that if I go to the location settings and change the mode I can temporarily correct it. Basically if i change the mode to "Device Only" it will be correct; but if I change to either of the other 2 settings (high accuracy or battery saving), it ends up incorrect again. I also had a bunch of friends over today, and the ones who connected their phones to my network also faced the same issue (unfortunately they also had M8's, and wasn't able to verify with anyone using a different phone).
So as far as I can tell, something about my router/modem makes it think its in CO, and if my phone tries to connect to wifi networks to find its location, it will forget where it actually is. I haven't seen something like this before and can't seem to find anything on google either...Does anyone have a possible solution?
