Changed WiFi password now HomePod tries to connect with the old one

I changed WiFi password on the router but I can see in the router logs that the HomePod is trying to connect with the old one.

My iPhone is connected to the WiFi.

What should I do?

How do I setup an Apple new Wi-Fi password. home pod mini without a code to scan? I changed the password on my home Wi-Fi router. I couldn’t get me HomePod mini to work, so I deleted it and thought I’d add it back and that would give me the opportunity to put in the new Wi-Fi password. NOPE! That didn’t work. Now I’m trying to set up my “new” home pod mini and it asks for a code to scan. I don’t that. What can I do?

Don’t get it… If I follow apples directions to see what Wi-Fi network my HomePod mini is on in home kit, it is missing the manufacturer, serial number and Wi-Fi network information. Is there an update that changed how you see this info or something?

HomePod Mini & Private Wi-Fi Address My HomePod minis kept reporting they didn't have an Internet connection when given a voice request even when my network was working for all other devices and they worked perfectly with AirPlay. Our iPhones and iWatches would drop wifi multiple times a day for a minute or two. Drove me nuts. Turned off Private Wi-Fi Address on my iPhone and restarted, deleted all my HomePod minis from the home app, rebooted network and router, re-added and reconfigured HomePod minis with my iPhone with Private Wi-Fi Address turned off. HomePod minis finally work as expected again. I suspect this is because they no longer inherited the Private Wi-Fi Address that would eventually confuse my Linksys Velop mesh network. We'll see.
