Wrong GPS location with Wi-Fi ON after the update to 17.5-ONLY on my IPhone
Hello everyone,
Can you help me clarify this?
Being connected to the WiFi network at home, after the update to IOS17.5, I found that when I open any map app( Google Maps, Waze or others) I am located in another part of my city, so the location shown is wrong. As soon as I turn off the WiFi, and stay connected to the mobile network, the location is correct. I didn't have this problem before. Has anyone else encountered this situation?
I realized something: It seems that only if I am connected to the 5Ghz network of my home router I have this problem, if I connect to the 2.4Ghz network of the same router or to another network from another router in the same location I have no problem. I have reset the problem router several times, but it behaves identically on the 5GHz band.
What is very strange is that the problem only manifests itself on my phone connected to that 5Ghz network.
If I have another phone (for example an older Android phone) or Windows laptop and I connect to the exact same network and open Google Maps or another app with location, this location is done correctly.
Could this be an issue in the update to IoS 17.5?
Seems a bit of a coincidence that I noticed the problem the very next day.
Before, it certainly didn't manifest itself.
Thanks!
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17
