Unless your whole router tunnels over a VPN, it probably geolocated you to country B.
But geolocation databases are inaccurate, and sometimes advertisers target a large area. It might just be a guess.
Router is not on vpn, I am however in Country A , so the geolocation should be country A
If the IP address belongs to a network in country B, that's why it would place you there.
Why would it belong to country B? IP is country A
