I am unable to set up my HomePod 2nd gen

It won't connect to my wi-fi, according to Home Kit app on my phone, taking forever to configure, and "there is a problem accessing your iCloud account on this HomePod". 3 error messages in 1 sitting. Everything else connected to wi-fi in my home is working perfectly. Why won't it work? Then Siri won't recognize my voice. What gives? How long does it take to configure?

HomePod mini stuck in downloading 17.2 Hi, I got today a new HomePod mini, checked the serial number on apple page and it is legit. the setup looked fine until it said that I had to wait for the firmware update 17.2. ive waited and waited, and nothing; I got the HomePod mini and my phone in the same room as the router, reset the HomePod multiple times, but still nothing. Tried again updating it with my iPad, and still nothing. on the home page it says “WiFi not connected” BUT I can stream music and if I ask Siri random questions, it works fine. I am getting frustrated now. :( any idea? thanks in advance!

Cannot connect to HomePod 1 I have been having issues with my HomePod 1 with it losing the connection to the internet. After trying many things in the end I did a full reset of it and since then I cannot connect to it at all. I have updated my phone and iPad to the latest iOS, done a hard reset of the HomePod numerous times and even removed it from the list bog devices associated with my Apple ID. I have tried changing my Wi-Fi settings and put the HomePod by my router and still nothing. Any other ideas before I give up for good?

Cannot connect to HomePod, even after resets I have a HomePod that constantly needs to be reset. Every time I leave the house for more than 3 days it needs to be reset. The only error I can see is "Unable to connect to HomePod". Nothing changes with my Wi-Fi, I bought a brand new router because of this. I have unplugged, waited a minute, then plug it back in. Restarting from the app. The only fix is to reset and re-add to Home app. Any suggestions? I really regret buying this thing.
