HomePod doesn't use a QR code for setup. See Set up and use HomePod mini and HomePod - Apple Support. 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.

I had the same issue. To solve it, I did a Reset of the HomePod (disconnect from power, wait 10 seconds, reconned power, tap the top of the HomePod, with 10 seconds, hold a finger down on the top until you hear 3 beeps).


After doing this a number of times, my iPhone failed to "connect" with the HomePod to restart the HomePod set-up process.


So, I powered down my iPhone and started it back up. That did the trick. Now the HomePod set-up screen appeared on my iPhone.
