Why Is Daily HomePod Reset Necessary?

I'm not sure it will help, but you could try setting up address resolutions in your router so that your devices are always assigned the same addresses. If you have a dual band router you might find it works better if you turn off the 5GHz radio.

This is exactly what my issue was. I had no idea I had more than one wifi network until my cable provider happened to be here performing another service and I had told him what was happening, So he did it for me. made it stay on one network. Since then my HomePod has been staying connected. My air printer is also staying online as well.

Like you , all my other devices had no issues, except the brother printer.

Apparently the router is always trying to establish a faster connection, so it goes off while it does this, it ends up some of your devices are using different networks and thus not syncing with your HomePod.

good luck!

I’m experiencing the same issue. I have three homepods, two are working great but the third one disconnects every few days. It is happening a lot more now with iOS 12 then it did with the prior version.

On Wednesday, Oct 24th I purchased 3 Apple HomePod devices and connected them to my network. Every minute or two they all lose internet connection, and about a minute later they work again. I’ve reset the devices and power cycled my modem and router but the issue continues. All other devices are working fine.

I’m running on a Motorola Surfboard modem and a Netgear Nighthawk router. WiFi has been great and has not had any issues. I have a Google Home, Amazon Echo, Nest thermostat, Hue bulbs, iMac, iPad Pro, iPhone XS Max, iPad Air, Apple TV, Security camera, PS4, etc. that all work flawlessly on my WiFi.

I called Apple Support last night and ended up being handed off to one of their senior level techs. The first thing he asked me is if I had internet through Cox. He said that they have received numerous complaints similar to mine over the past 24 hours and the common theme is that everyone experiencing the issue has Cox as their internet provider. Has anyone else heard about this? The really strange part is how it is only affecting my Apple HomePods and everything else works fine. I’m at a complete loss here.

Look up the manual for your router.

I have the same problem. Three homepods but only one needs to be reset every couple weeks.
