My HomePod mini won't connect by holding phone near it or by selecting it in Home

Changed networks and my Mini was stuck on Configuring. I unplugged it then plugged it in and nothing changed. Removed it from Home and now trying to add it back but doesn't respond when iPhone is near, and can't read serial # to try that. I am on the same network as all my other Mini which are working fine.

Unplug HomePod or unplug the power adapter for HomePod mini. Wait 10 seconds, then plug HomePod back in.
Wait 10 seconds, then touch your finger to the top of HomePod and hold it there.
The white spinning light will turn red. Keep your finger down.
Siri will say that your HomePod is about to reset. When you hear three beeps, you can lift your finger
