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.
People are hating on this post but you have a valid complaint. HomePods can be particular about WiFi routers and some people have found that they operate better on 2.4Ghz rather than 5Ghz but there’s no way to specify that, even if you have different SSIDs for each network. I ended up configuring my router to ban their MAC addresses on 5Ghz, a setting my router thankfully has.
This! I actually don’t get why people are hating on this :( I literally just said that Apple should give the user more options, what’s wrong about that?
You are stating that your lack of diligence and user error is Apple’s fault.
Apple users are wild, why would anyone prefer any solution beyond a single setting that says “don’t do X”. How is permanently connecting to a HomePod because you’ve used the wifi once sensible.
No. You don’t understand. The OP was literally connected to their neighbor’s wifi WHEN THEY SET UP THE HOMEPOD. This is entirely on the OP, and Apple is not responsible for them mooching off their neighbor.
