Hope no one minds the reboot a few years later.... Working with an Orbi RBR750 running V7.2.7.15_5.1.16, and any time I go to add a device to Apple Home, get messages that router does not support ...

So, the HomePod does not connect to the WiFi network?

Two HomePods and an iPad (dedicated to just the iot netowrk) are on the Orbi WiFi 2.5 network.
Adding any device gives the same error.
• Open Home Add• Select add button
• Select new device
• Scan sticker
• Enter code
• Error
Tried 4 devices. Each device manually removed from previous network. Each device factory restored.
