For the last month or so, location services for any Windows computer (laptop, 2 in 1, Surface, etc.) that connects to my home Wi Fi says we are in Sacramento, California, instead of my actual home here in Calgary. Neither I nor my router nor any of my computers have ever been to Sacramento.
Anyone have any ideas how to clear this up?

Sorry for the slow response. Life intervened.

Life happens. No worries.
Both wifi and hardwired should have the exact same location. In Windows, there are separate settings for wifi and ethernet. If you look at your wifi configuration, does it show a proxy or VPN active in there? Do you use a third party VPN like NordVPN, PIA, etc.? Do you use custom DNS settings? While it's very unlikely, are you absolutely sure it's your wifi network that you're connecting to?
Can you also do one more test? When on wifi only, check your external IP addresses here. Do the same when connected by ethernet. Please do not post the IP address itself here. The external IP address should match under normal circumstances. If they do not match, then something is interfering with your PCs while on wifi.
As for the Telus router, from my experience with the one I have (T3200), I only see DNS settings for the LAN/WAN but not separate ones for wifi and ethernet. I would assume the other routers have similar configurations.
