Recently changed routers. HomePod mini won't connect by holding phone near it (have latest OS), and it doesn't show up in the Home App. Use add accessory, and it isn't found. It doesn't have a USB C connector either, so can't use my Mac to reset it. Any ideas?
HomePod mini, 17
You can reset it on the Mac if you use the original USB-C cable it came with. Unplug that from the adapter plug and plug into the port on your Mac
.Otherwise use the pressing the top method to reset then set it up again with the iPhone that’s in the new wifi network.

There is no code to use. It’s set up via an iOS device. You also don’t need to use a Mac to reset it. It can be done manually by the pressing the top method: Reset HomePod or HomePod mini - Apple Support
Have you still got the box to scan the code?
have you clicked on can’t find sometimes it needs that extra push?
also check you’re on the same wifi network
Are you sure it won’t plug into your Mac? I really don’t know which Mac’s have what ports

The HomePod mini plugged into my 2019 MacBook Air and my new one also.
The reset page doesn’t say which Macs support the Restore. A PC can be used as well.

Hope you can get it sorted.
Thanks, but my HomePod Mini didn't come with that type of connector. It is hardwired to the unit on one end and has a regular AC plug on the other end. This is frustrating to say the least! But thanks for responding!
Hi. I do have the box, but I didn't see a code on it. I am not on the same wifi network which is obviously the problem. We got a new router, and I haven't been able to get into the HomePod to change it to the new one. Another responder suggested I hook up to my Mac and reset it that way. I just ordered the USB-C to USB adapter so that I can try that.
Thanks for your help!
Pressing the top to reset doesn't work either. I get the same message "I am having trouble connecting to the Internet. For more info check the Home App." The homepod doesn't appear in the Home app, and I haven't been able to add it to the Home app, so I can't use my phone either to reset it. I am hoping that using the USB-c adapter will be successful. If that doesn't work when I get the adapter, I may need to put the old router and Wifi network back into action in order to start over.
My MacBook Air is about 7 years old now I think. It just has the regular USB ports (2) and San disc, earphone jack, charging slot, and one I don't recognize for use with anything I have. Anyway, thanks for your help. Your suggestions got me closer to a fix (hopefully!)
It can be removed from the USB-C adapter plug (the part that goes into the wall outlet)
It did come apart. I didn't yank on it hard enough before. Now I just have to figure out how to attach it to my old MacBook Air which doesn't have a USB-C port. Will look for an adapter. Thanks!
Can't connect HomePod Mini to internet. Doesn't show up in the Home app. Holding phone next to it still can't connect.
