HomePod IOS 16.4...HomePod says it's not on same network

Ever since upgrading all my HomePod's to 16.4 and My AppleTV's to 16.5 I'm getting the error that Timers are unavailable as the HomePod is not on the same network as all my IOS devices. They aren't I only have 1 network in my home. Now I my have 2.4g and 5g bands with the same SID but this has never been an issue in the past. My Home WIFI AP is an XFINITY cable Router and AP.

Any ideas? I've rebooted everything multiple times but nothing seems to help.

Regards, Barry

HomePod automatically connects to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS or iPadOS device, that set it up.

Try resetting network settings on your iPhone: In Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Join wifi again after it restarts . This might take a few minutes to get HomePod on same network

Thanks but I tried it as you suggested and no different...my WIFI hasn't changed only difference from a few days ago is 16.4 on my HomePod's and 16.5 on my AppleTV's & perhaps my MACOS updated to 13.3.1 around the same time but I'm not certain. I may try resetting and setting up one of my HomePods but as I have 6 it's not something I'm looking forward to.

You might need to reset and set up again. Or you could try forget Network then re- join. Or reboot your wifi
