My iPhone 12 is showing incorrect location

My iphone 12 suddenly started showing that I'm in Manchester when I'm all the way in Dubai, I've never been to Manchester before. I don't understand why this is happening, I've tried everything like restarting my phone, turning my location off and on, resetting my network, and resetting my location & privacy, but nothing has worked so far, however when I did reset my location & privacy, it did show my correct location for about 30 seconds before switching back to Manchester. I also made sure my IOS was up to date. Could anyone pls help my with this issue i'd rlly appreciate it.

So recently my wifi provider gave us a new router and since installing the new router my location has been incorrect, when I connect to my mobile data the location fixes itself but as soon as i connect to my home wifi the location goes back to UK. I did call my wifi provider and explained to them what was happening, they reset my router but this hasn't fixed the issue, and I did have a VPN app installed on my iPhone during the router change however it was turned off, and i even deleted it thinking it would fix the issue.
