I have 3 HomePod Minis

They have connected to a Wifi network for the past 2-3 years surviving all upgrades and were on 16.6

Upgraded to OS 17 and none of the 3 HPMinis no longer connect to the exact same Wifi network.

Displays a 'Cannot connect to Wifi' message on my iPhone with zero assistance or hints to the problem.

I can see the HPMini briefly connect to my Wifi via the router log and then disconnect.

Reset and restore with OS17 and same problem with iPhone AND iPad (both on iOS17)

Downgrade one HPMini to 16.6 and it connects without problem to the exact same Wifi.

Run the upgrade to OS17 and fails.

Currently restoring back to 16.6 and complained to Apple Support

Just FYI here for historical purposes

I still have this problem and have 2 open support tickets with Apple (whom have been great)

2 tickets because the HPMinis still do not connect and neither does my Apple Watch Series 6 OS10

I have updated phone and HPMinis to 17.1 and watch to 10.1

No dice, these peripherals will not connect to my wifi for some reason. Apple is trying to help but is challenging...
