HomePod is not compatible with unsecured Wi-Fi. Your Wi-Fi needs to be set up with WPA/WPA2 and with any access/client/wireless isolation/security feature turned off. See If you can't set up HomePod - Apple Support.

Check your Wi-Fi connection

HomePod uses the Wi-Fi network that your iOS or iPadOS device is connected to. Use your iOS or iPadOS device to forget the Wi-Fi network, then join the network again.
Personal Hotspots might work, but aren't recommended.
If you're using an 802.1X Wi-Fi network, find out which networks are supported and how to connect to them.
HomePod doesn't support public or subscription networks with sign-in requirements. These networks are often in places such as businesses, schools, dorms, blocks of flats, hotels and shops.
