We lost power for a couple hours last night during a storm. Tonight I noticed all (4) of my home pods are on a different network. I've tried resetting/restarting them to no avail, they still go to the wrong network. Any suggestions before I start throwing s**t through windows? Only slightly joking btw... it's been a rough for weeks for my tech "skills"
HomePod
The full HomePod and HomePod mini reset involves a Mac or PC. Was that what was tried?
Is the other Wi-Fi network one that you also configure and manage?
Presumably separate SSIDs (network names) are in use?
Are any virtual LANs configured here?
How many Wi-Fi routers are in use? Mesh or access points?
First make sure your iPhone or whatever device you used to set up HomePod is connected to the desired Wi-Fi network
Open the Home App and tap on HomePod, tap the gear icon for settings, and tap the prompt to "Move HomePod to the same wifi network.
After you do this, if it’s still not working you can try unplugging HomePods for 10 seconds to Restart them.
When you say the "wrong network", which network are you speaking of? They they somehow switch to a different Wi-Fi network, or are they on a different Thread network than usual? Since Home Pods are thread border routers, they are the connection point with their foot in two networks - Wi-Fi and, from there, the internet is the first and the one that most people would reasonably think of, but they also coordinate to define one as the Home Controller (they will also coordinate with any mini-Pods or AppleTV's that are 3rd gen or later) and from there, coordinate everything in your Thread network. Note that I don't say "if you have one" because if you have Home Pods, then you do have a Thread network, even if you don't have any end use devices on it other than the border routers.
My home pods are suddenly on the wrong network.
