HomePod with Model EX7300v2
Apple Product support has stated thtat their HomePod product does not work with the mesh extender Model EX7300v2. Is there any plans to fix this? They recomened Orbi or Eero as solutions. I am using a Spectrum cable modem and router. Will Model EX7300v2 be upgrade to allow HomePos to connect?
Solved it.
I set the extender up as a stand alone circuit, not as a mesh circuit. The Apple HomePod Mini had no problems recogizing the extended circuit. It just had trouble with the "meshed" ciircuit.
Thanks all.

Apple stated this?
Where?
I don't have that specific extender but I haven't had issues connecting anything to my other extender

Thats great. I have not had problems with other devices (iPhone, Honeywell Thermostats, Kuna security lights). But my Homepod Mini can not access the extended mesh cicuit and Apple Support states its a Netgear problem. I can access the un-extended wifi circuit (disconnected extender) with the home pod. So its not an Apple problem and not a Netgear problem, its just my problem.

have you done a quick google search for "homepod wifi issues"
you're not the only one and it isn't isolated to ex7300.
Some found fixes with changing settings. I'd try googling that and reading through a few solutions found with the homepod
