Why is my Network showing up at another unfamiliar address?

It says my location is somewhere 20 miles or so away. I never go on that side of town so I don't know why it's showing up at that address. Should I be worried?

    Hi @JudgeJoeBrown,  Fing uses a commercial database service to locate you based on your ISP and IP address information and does its best but is not a precise measure of location.  In either Fing apps, you should be able to enter your exact location in the network section in the mobile app or in the scan for devices section of the desktop app..
