Yesterday, my HomePods started reporting "I'm having WiFi problems" or "There's a problem with the WiFi" or "I'm having trouble connecting to the WiFi.
None of my other devices (MacBook Air, iPhone) are having problems connecting to the WiFi.
Any ideas about what's going on? and what to do to fix it?
Did you power cycle your router yet? That is always a useful troubleshooting step. If you have a dual band router you may find that HomePods are more stable if you disable the 5GHz band so they only have one available network to try to connect to.

this happened to me recently and it drove me crazy. after trying all sorts of stuff in the home app, I finally unplugged the one HomePod then plugged it back and bingo all was good. Of course that way may not be the Apple way.
Forget your local network in your iPhone, reconnect to it, then reset your HomePods.

Most modern routers have the 2 bands 2.4 GHz and the 5GHz
Have a look in your wifi manual or in it's settings.
While I have not turned my 5 GHz off, I do have a different password set to it.
And my iPhone has never connected to it.
I’m glad it worked for you, but it didn’t for me.
I’ ve tried unplugging and plugging back in. And I still get the message about not being able to connect to the WiFi. I’ve also been told to check in the Home app for more information, and for the life of me I haven’t found any helpful information.
im about ready to throw the HomePod against a wall and see if that does any good.
I have done the power cycle twice now. No joy.
Have no idea whether the router has a 5GHz band, but I doubt it.
