homepod mini gives message wi-fi incompatible

Hello dpruettfromharrah,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, you're receiving a message that your Wi-Fi is incompatible when trying to set up your HomePod mini. We'd like to help!

"Check your Wi-Fi connection

• HomePod uses the Wi-Fi network that your iOS or iPadOS device is connected to. Use your iOS or iPadOS device to forget the Wi-Fi network, then join the network again. 
• Personal Hotspots might work, but aren't recommended.
• If you're using an 802.1X Wi-Fi network, learn which networks are supported and how to connect to them. 
• HomePod doesn't support public or subscription networks with sign-in requirements. These networks are often in places like businesses, schools, dorms, apartments, hotels, and stores."

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care!
