HomePod starts playing randomly

My new HomePod (updated software, secured, voice activation turned off) starts playing randomly. My only thought is that I have a first generation Eero. Could that be doing it? Based on posts, it appears I'm not alone, but I don't see any satisfactory fixes.

HomePod Going Silent In the past maybe two weeks, my HomePod has started going silent on certain songs - mainly brand new songs that have just been downloaded from Apple Music - then it will play the next song like nothing happened. Before this, it would stop and start playing before completely cutting out. It seems to have started with the latest iOS/HomePod update but I wanted to see if it was only me it was happening to or should I replace with a new HomePod? Currently have the original HomePod for anyone curious. Thanks!

It can be triggered sometimes.

If it persists just unplug it for a second.

You can also check your airplay settings as well
