Thanks to @timbosan, I've now got 2 HomePod minis that I've setup. However, I seem to have a challenge selecting them from an iPhone. I've done my research and tried a couple of solutions, but it seems to come back to one main issue. Mesh networks! I've a Netgear Nighthawk MR60 and unfortunately, the only solution seems to be having all Apple devices on their own non-Mesh network which does not really sound like the best solution moving forward!

 

Anybody else had issues (or not) and are using airplay on a mesh network?

It looks like I've managed to solve it. It's one of Apple's 'features' that has to be disabled:

 

iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

 

 

     

  1. Open the Settings app, then tap Wi-Fi.
  2. Tap the information button  next to a network.
  3. Tap to turn Private Address on or off. If your device joined the network without using a private address, a privacy warning will explain why.

 

By turning off Private address, it immediately found and connected 🤷‍♂️
