AirPlay to HomePods not working with Smart Connect
I’ve had this router for a year now. For the first four months it worked great, but the last 8 months I haven’t been able to use the Smart Connect feature. When enabled I’m unable to AirPlay my music ...
See my post from last year - Netgear broke HomeKit from their 1.0.3.88 firmware and up. None of the newer versions are able to work with HomeKit when SmartConnect is enabled:
If you're willing to sacrifice the security updates, you can downgrade to firmware v1.0.2.76 which is the last version I found able to work with HomeKit/SmartConnect.
Have you tried disabling 'Smart Connect"?
Yes, smart connect and OFDMA is disabled. It was a firmware issue.
Are your Homekit smart devices still working?
