You probably have a dynamic IP address, every time you connect to the internet your address changes...

If your router does the connecting to the internet, then rebooting your router connects to your ISP again. If your ISP gives you a dynamic IP address, then each time you connect, you get a new one (will usually be different, sometimes you get the same one back).

Who cares where it thinks you're from? Sites like these make estimates.
They look up the location of your IP address, and it usually points to your ISP. My ISP is based in NSW (their only pop is there), Australia, and that's where I am, and that's what I get told my location is when I look it up by IP address. The suburb is wrong though. My ISP offers services Australia-wide, and even a user in another state get's told that their in NSW because that's where the ISP is.
