RBR850 no longer recognizing Apple HomePod Mini
Hi folks, hope someone here can help... After a reboot of my router and satellite (RBR/RBS850 - not sure if it was after a firmware update or just one of my random reboots) one of my four Apple H...
The HomePod was having the same issue rejoining the network before the OS update. I was hoping the new OS would fix the issue but id did not. There is only one RBS in my setup. The host router is a C3000Z.
What security mode do you have set on the RBR for WiFi? Does WPA2 and TPIK change anything?
The pod won't connect to the RBR if you turn OFF the RBS?
You can try a FW update to see if this might help:
I have to use WPA2-PSK [AES] or some of my 2.4Ghz devices won't connect at all. I have not tried disconnecting the RBS and just tried to connect the HomePod to the RBR.
Try changing to WPA2 and TPIK temporarily to see if the pod connects or not.
Sorry for the MUCH delayed response but...I tried all of those troubleshooting tips, updated both Satellite and Router to most recent firmware, changed 5ghz to channel 48 and 2.4 to channel 1, changed the security setting, and none of them allowed the iPod mini to join the network.
