Set Reminders, when I connect to a home router wifi network?

Can you set Reminders (ie; "When I get home.") for home to be a wifi network. My address does not show properly on a map therefore I am never home. I would like to get a 'Reminder' when I hit my home router network. possible?

I had a similar situation. My house/ neighborhood used to show as a field on maps. To solve this I dropped a pin when I was at my house in the maps app. Then I created a new contact for reminders. (So I wouldn't change my autofill address.) Since I started having the reminders go off at the dropped pin I have had no issues. -AJ

Thank you so much. Could you please elaborate?

Do you name the Dropped Pin Contact home?

Do you change the address on the Dropped Pin to the proper address so it matches the "me" address? (my owner contact address.)

Or do I just tell Siri to remind me when "I get Dropped Pin 1." for example?

Again Thank you so much for your help in advance.

I tried multiple ways of doing this and the way I found that worked the best was as follows.

Drop a pin at your home using the maps app
Chose to add the address to an existing contact
Find your main contact that is set up with Siri
Tap on where it says address and add a custom label. I chose school to make it easy since it seems to need to be a place for Siri to add location based reminders.
Then test Siri by saying remind me to something when I get to school. If she says to she doesn't know your school address select it from the list do that and try again.
