HomePod 2nd Gen unable to connect to Wifi after updating to 16.4.1

Hello Samijam,

If you're experiencing an issue with HomePod not responding or not connecting to Wi-Fi, please check out the information and suggestions outlined in this link, which may help correct that issue: If HomePod or HomePod mini isn't responding

Check for alerts in the Home app

If HomePod or HomePod mini can't connect to your home Wi-Fi network, can't access your Apple ID, or has another issue, you'll see an alert with details about the issue in the Home app. To see more information about the alert, open the Home app, then tap or click HomePod.

Check your Wi-Fi connection

HomePod and HomePod mini automatically connect to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone or iPad. To check your Wi-Fi signal strength:

1. Open the Home app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

2. Tap or click HomePod. 

3. Scroll down, or tap or click the Settings icon  and scroll down to Wi-Fi Network. The Wi-Fi signal strength indicator  appears next to your network name.

If the signal strength indicator shows two bars or fewer , your Wi-Fi signal strength is weak. Try moving your HomePod speaker closer to your router and remove potential sources of wireless interference.

If the signal strength indicator shows an exclamation point , learn what to do.

Learn what to do if Siri on your HomePod says it can't connect to the internet

HomePod and HomePod mini support captive portal Wi-Fi networks that require additional sign-in steps, for example, those provided by hotels or dorms. Use your iPhone or iPad to connect to the network, then follow the onscreen instructions for setup.

The Wi-Fi signal strength indicator isn't supported on HomePod speakers connected to networks that block peer-to-peer traffic, like some captive networks. 

Thanks!

My Mini’s are connected as they play music, etc. However they frequently lose Right stereo channel for 1-2 minutes, Stop playing entirely for a few minutes, etc. They show as not responding sometimes but not always. Occurs with Apple Music and when using home library iTunes server.

Update… this morning the Home app shows the message HomePod cannot to Network and the Minis state they connect to the internet yet I am able to stream music from Apple Music using the Home app. Does this make any sense to anyone? It appears the HomeKit system is still not ready for prime time. Very disappointing.

There is no Manufacturer, Model , Serial Number, WiFi Network, Version section as shown in this example in my Home app.

Any idea why?

I determined that the Manufacturer, Model, WiFi, etc. section does not display for stereo pairs. Sad… this information should be available for stereo pairs.

update… approx. 4 hours later, without doing anything, everything is working as it should. Go figure…

Later today or tomorrow will be more of the same… probably. :)
