HomePod and mesh networks

Has anyone solved the HomePod and mesh network problem last mentioned in 2018? Just got a HomePod Mini and often get the "not on the same network" response from Siri. I'm using a Linksys 3-node Velop mesh and it appears that if the HomePod and my iPhone aren't using the same mesh unit, they can't talk to each other. I'll see if I can easily force my iPhone to switch mesh units but it sure would be great if the HomePod played nice with mesh systems. Thanks and stay well.

HomePod mini not working on Netgear MR60 I’m using Netgear Nighthawk Mesh router (AX1800) to connect with my newly purchased HomePod mini. I read a thread saying that if both HomePod mini and iPhone are located next the router, the problem should be fixed. I followed this recommendation but doesn’t work for me. Checked that the firmware of router was updated as well as ios version. The most weird thing is that when I put my iPhone near the satellite, I can connect to the HomePod mini. When i move my phone next the router, the connection will lost again. Any clues on this situation? Thanks.

Set up homepod mini in office I am trying to use a HomePod mini in my office. I followed Apple's directions to set it up at home first. At the office I get the prompt to switch to a different network. It shows the two networks, my home network and the office network my phone is connected to. I click to do that but it does not work. Nothing happens. What are my other options? I have the MAC address.
