Upon initial setup, HomePod will proactively connect to the Wi-Fi network your iPhone or iPad is using while it is being setup. For most people, this is fine. However, on rare occasions users like to change their Wi-Fi network name or take HomePod while traveling. While not clear, it is possible to change Wi-Fi networks on HomePod.

Follow along to learn how….

How to change Wi-Fi networks on HomePod

On your iPhone or iPad, open the Home app. Tap and hold or 3D Touch the HomePod icon for the specific HomePod you’re having issues with. At the top a message will appear that says “This HomePod is on a different Wi-Fi network than this iPhone. Move HomePod to ‘(Wi-Fi name)'”. Give it a few seconds and HomePod will automatically connect to the new Wi-Fi network.

Note that this only works if your HomePod is having issues connecting to a Wi-Fi network. Unfortunately, there’s no other way to change the Wi-Fi network on HomePod other than factory resetting it.

If you’re having issues with HomePod connecting to Wi-Fi, make sure your modem and router are working properly. To test this, try asking Siri a question or ask it to play some music. If it’s taking a long time to answer, or says it can’t connect to the internet, check your internet connection.
