I am trying to add a new HomePod to our network. Was very excited about having an opportunity to have in stereo mode. However, I’m not able to get this new move past configuring mode. I’ve reset it three or four times with the hope that it would push through this process And each time it still gets stuck for hours without any resolution. I love Apple, but this is a ridiculous process and I can’t believe that they can’t get this right. Any suggestions?
I have the same problem. For me, the problem started after I changed my ISP. Apart from resetting them many times, I have tried
At this point, I am very-very upset because I signed up for a 2 year contract with this ISP. I was looking forward to watching some movies this weekend.
I was able to solve it. What worked for me was:
Now I am not touching this again ever
I further narrowed down the problem, it is the Apple TV being connected using Ethernet.
May or may not be the same root cause for you.
I found the root cause. So basically, HomeKit devices use mDNS queries to find Home Hubs. These queries are multicast.
My ISP’s router is blocking multicast between wired and wireless. On this router, there’s no way to change this behaviour, so I have raised a ticket with my provider. Your router may have a setting called multicast (turn it on) or igmp snooping (turn it off). All the best.
I am having the same problem. I have reset the stupid thing a million times.
