  • It should connect to the same wifi the iOS device you used for set up. HomePod uses the Wi-Fi network that your iOS or iPadOS device is connected to. 

Set up and use HomePod

Check that two-factor authentication is turned on for your Apple ID and iCloud Keychain is turned on

  • To check if two-factor authentication is turned on, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Password & Security. If two-factor authentication isn't set up, select the option to enable it and follow the steps.
  • To check if iCloud Keychain is turned on, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud. Scroll down and check that Keychain is on. If it isn't, tap Keychain and turn it on. If prompted, follow the steps to set up iCloud Keychain.
