Manually reset HomePod

I have tried over and over again to reset my HomePod by unplugging, waiting 5 seconds, plugging back in, waiting 5 seconds, and then holding the top. Each time it just says "I'm having trouble with the wifi. Please check the Home app" and then it goes dead. It does not show up I the Home app. Can't set it up on my phone. It's been nothing but problems since I got it and now it's just a useless brick.
