#Unifi integration incorrect geolocation after AP change

I've updated by Unifi AP to a newer version that I've bought used. I've set up and properly adopted the new AP through Unifi Controller, after factory resetting it. Everything works, but now whenever our mobile phones are connected to the home Wifi, our location shows the one from the previous user, 200km away from our home. I know there are no settings in Unifi Controller to change this, but what else can I do? My guess is it might be related to the Mac address of the AP being kept in various backend DBs on the Internet, tied to the wrong geolocation. To override it, I tried to keep our phone's GPS on while on the Wifi, but it doesn't seem to do the trick. Any recommendations?

Learning as I go... It might be related to the companion apps pulling location info from the devices and those being wrong (Google, Apple). So it might have nothing to do with the Unifi integration.
