HomePod Mini Can't Be Setup Due To "Wi-Fi Incompatible"

Your Wi-Fi router needs to be set up with WPA/WPA2 wireless security and with any client/access point/wireless isolation/security feature turned off. HomePod won't work if there is a challenge response web page required to connect to the network.

Hi, have you tried Apple’s troubleshooting for setting up HomePods:

This includes if you’re getting a wifi incompatible message.

What is the make and model of your router? Perhaps I can find a manual to work out which setting you need to change.

See this thread: Homepod, shortcuts and meshed wifi networ… - Apple Community. It seems HomePod might not play nicely with mesh networks.

So can I try to turn off the security protocols and see if can connect to wifi??

Yes.
