Is there a way to set the homepods to only use 1 network? I have two routers and my entertainment system is on one only which the home pods are normally connected, but during watching a show, they'll randomly disconnect and connect to my other network. Is there a way to have them not use the other network?
They can connect to any network in range where they have the login credentials, and may switch trying to get a better service. You can remove the credentials for the network that you don't want used from your iPhone, so that they update via iCloud Keychain leaving the set you want used.

Use Feedback - HomePod - Apple to let Apple know that you'd like greater control over which wireless connection HomePod uses. I'd love it if my iPhone could swap to a specific connection for a certain app, then swap back for everything else.

Ok thanks, so when you say remove the credentials for the network that I don't want, do you mean to remove the network from my iPhone? or is there someplace in the HomePod settings to do that?
Thanks.

Yes, I have dedicated ip addresses for my business, so I have a personal router on one ip and my business on a different router connected to servers and my office VPN.
I appreciate the help! Here's to hoping that they put in the ability to only use one wifi connection in the future.
Cheers!

Forget the network on your phone. The removal should sync to the HomePod via iCloud Keychain, and it should then stop trying to use your other router.

OK I'll do that, so I guess my phone cannot ever connect to the other network then, if I reconnect then I'll have the same issue again?
Thanks.

Yep, that is the downside. Do you need to independent networks? Why not a repeater for the first one so you get more coverage but it is all the same network?

Home Pod Changes WiFi during use
