Answer 1

Good afternoon.
Q And how is the location determined?
A Simple enough. Your point broadcasts far beyond the room / apartment / house / building. Someone has a client on purpose or by accident, which, with Wi-Fi and GPS turned on, scans the air for access points and sends SSID, MAC and coordinates to the base.
Q Is it possible?
A I see two options: extensive - often change the MAC address on the router's Wi-Fi card, even with a script (probably dd-wrt + file here), at least once a day / hour by hand, intensive - look for similar services and feed incorrect data.
ps As far as I know, android has a positioning option for Wi-Fi points.
