Lots of people with all kinds of routers have this issue - it's not Deco related - it's a Google problem. They have mapped the Wifi MAC address against a GPS location either from a mapping car, or from a device running Google maps with GPS on it reporting back its co-ordinates and the Wifi MAC address.
Google used to have a way to submit updates long ago, but now your best bet is to use maps and other Google services on a device with GPS in range of your Wifi a few times. Let it locate you fully over GPS, and with a few automatic reports back that the correct location on GPS does not match the Wifi approximation Google will eventually update.
