As a means to keeping this feature on when out in public, but not have it cause latency spikes at home, is it possible to configure the router to block these requests from location services? Or do we need to setup each device to automatically disable location services when on the house wifi?
Wifi positioning does not actively talk to the network you‘re connected to, but rather does a beacon frame sweep and then matches BSSIDs seen with some database.
One side effect of this is that in order to scan all possible wifi channels, your baseband needs to tune to different frequencies at least for a short period of time.
Theoretically this interval should be short enough to avoid any disruptions – practically that‘s apparently not always the case.
