One of my HomePods is connecting to the neighbors WIFI-Network all the time, restarting doesn't change anything and I can't change the WIFI-Network manually in the app. Why isn't apple able to give the user the possibility to change the HomePods Wifi-network without any circumstances??? I don't get it. I've neither entered the other WIFIs password nor did setup anything regards that.

It’s ridiculous. I have two wifi nets, one is not for iot devices but my phone is allowed there so I can ssh onto machines there. My “solution” was to blacklist the homepods from that offending AP by mac address.

This could easily be a toggle

THANK YOU for understanding! One guy wanted to tell me that the HomePod isn't a product for me because I want too many features 💀 (I've just criticized that you can't choose a WiFi-Network)
