HomePod Mini Not working on MR60 Mesh WHEN Satellites are NOT Plugged in
After working with Apple support on this we came to the conclusion that the homepod mini can airplay fine (my Apple TV too) ONLY when none of the satilites are powered on. Works for all the AirPlay f...
- When you upgrade/downgrade, always do it satellite first, router after:

According to their support the fix should come in next firmware, in between you can try this.
I just installed version 122 today, which includes in the release notes "Fixed AirPlay issue while iPhone/iPad and Apple TV are connected to the same node, either MR60 or MS60." So far its been working!
MR60 (Mesh Router) : https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/MK62/MR60-V1.1.6.122_2.0.58.zip
MS60 (Mesh Satellite): https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/MK62/MS60-V1.1.6.122_2.0.58.zip
On my side, it seems that the new FW has fixed the issue with Homepod mini.
I will monitor this in the coming days, but for the first time I could transfer music from my iPhone to the Homepod mini :smileyhappy:

I have just updated my satellite and router to Version 1.1.6.122. Haven't been on here in a few weeks, but I spent over an hour on the phone with netgear stupport essentially helping them collect logs and bug fix. They then sounded pissed off when I wasn't able to answer the phone during the work day! To top it off they called multiple times on Thanksgiving day :-/
Going to see if Version 1.1.6.122 fixes things. Does anyone know of a good way to check if the homepod minis are connected to the router or the satellite? For me that would be the critical test to show it's working, but as of now I don't know how to verify if they're connected to the router or satellite. Thanks!

Ive tested V1.1.6.122 for a few days. It does make the Airplay system work with multiple homePods but it has introduced a new issue.
Normally when you say "Hey Siri" and you have two or more homepods within earshot, the one that picks up your voice the clearest takes the command.
THis update now causes all homepods (within earshot) to execute the command indepentantly - for example, if you said "Hey Siri play some music", both homepods would each start playing random music.
Maybe space the homepods farther appart?
