Resolved HomeKit erroneously thinks HomePod OG is on a different network

[haralds]

The home app started reporting that one of my HomePods is on a different network. It is not; there is only one main network.

I rebooted the HomePod and the error persists. Do I have to reinit the HomePod?

Thank you! I assumed they HomeKit uses BonJour and not MDNS, but it's a good point and easy enough to try.

They do, but rely on your router to get that traffic broadcast, especially in the case of wireless devices . If router gets in a weird state or the service that forwards that discovery is acting up, could be the cause.

What brand router do you have? I have a TP-Link AX-55 Pro.

Bonjour is just what apple calls MDNS.
