Homepods disconnecting from wifi

When I had my first home pod it worked wonderfully. No that I’ve connected a second, it will periodically disconnect from my Wifi. I can unplug it and plug it back in and it will work or I can just wait and it might start working again. Every other device on my WiFi works as intended. Anyone else have a similar issue?

HomePod, iOS 12

HomePod WiFi Connection Issues Hi, I was curious if anyone has been having problems with the homepods WiFi connection since the 12.4 update? We have 3 homepods and they have been acting very strange since the 12.4 update, sometimes the HomePod will say it has no internet connection when giving it commands even though our WiFi is working fine or when playing music via airplay it will just stop playing randomly or even trying to control our Philips hue lights it will fail to control them. We’ve never had so many weird bugs with our HomePods until 12.4. I really wish there was an easy way to see what WiFi network your HomePod is on and some kind of way to have it restart itself without having to unplug it from the wall and do a reset. thanks for any help!

1 HomePod in stereo pair keeps disconnecting from wifi Hi. I have a pair of home pods set up as a stereo pair. One of them keeps dropping off the wifi. Things I have tried. Reset both HomePods multiple times, updated their software. Reset my router multiple times, updated its software. They are located 6 feet from each other and both have a line of site to the router. All other devices are fine. Annoyingly, the pair show up on Airplay, and you can play to them but no sound comes out, I assume because the left one isn't on the wifi.

Happens with mine all the time. I’ve gotten used to it, which I shouldn’t have to. When I’m really impatient and need it to work I just unplug it.

So yes, it’s a common complaint.
