Can't find it anywhere. It has the right time zone - eastern, but if I go to say Home Depot or Lowe's web site it thinks I'm in Salt Lake City

It's basing that in the IP address you get from your ISP. There isn't a whole lot you can do about that. This is most often an issue if you are using a wired Ethernet connection to your router as opposed to WiFi, though it can happen with WiFi as well, especially if your network is relatively "new" and has not yet been registered in the mapping systems that use WiFi assist to determine locations.
