I only know after updating my mac to the latest macOS, i can never stay connected to the homepod more than 5 minutes sad.gif
whether it's on 17.x or 18.0, both still keep disconnect

Just realised today, the HomePod stereo pair which is paired to the ATV4K (ethernet) does not connect to my Wifi. How is it connecting to the ATV? Bluetooth?

probably some ad hoc mode (wifi n bluetooth), HomePods are directly connected to ATV

You'll need an iPhone or iPad to set it up. No need AppleTV. TV can't connect to the HomePod. Not sure about Airplay 2 TVs but I think also cannot. For TV to output audio to HomePod, you'll need AppleTV.

I don't really need apple tv coz my samsung tv is already smart tv... Or should I get it?

two homepods stereo seems interesting. can consider using aura studio 3 for my gaming pc instead.

i googled, airplay seems to be "input" only, so cannot output audio to homepod.

Let me research more....
