https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/173.173.79.158 Is this your corrrect location? State/Region: Nebraska City: Columbus My guess is that the search engine you are using has inaccurate information about the actual location for some IP Addresses. ''(There are at least 3 major services in North America, which I am aware of, that provide that IP address / location data for the websites & search engines, and some are better than others.)'' "Wrong location" is sometimes it's the internet service providers fault, while other times it's with a small internet service provider that connects some of their customers to a larger / different service provider that "resells" their connections rather than the small provider "stringing new lines" into a new service area at great cost where a competitor has lines that are a lot closer. Seems to be a problem for users in remote locations, but not always. And sometimes is caused temporarily when an internet service provider is re-doing their system "connections to the backbone"; but that usually goes away after a few weeks or a few months. Bottom line is that you should contact '''''your''''' internet service provider and tell them what is happening.
