My speaker continuously tells me it’s having problems with the Wi-Fi

*I love my **Newest.Technology** Echo Dot. Now have 3 after receiving my 1st as a gift. Didn't think I'd use it, but love it. Very helpful and I am glad I was given this as I may never have purchased for myself.*

Hello I need help I wanna buy two homepods to listen to.my personal iCloud library not apple music library I know I'm missing some features but apple music destroyed my collection. I'm starting from scratch uploading my library that I backed up luckily since it's not a backup service. Can I ask siri to play an uploaded status song if I'm not subscribe to apple.music? Thank You

You missed all the steps required to get to HOME and add accessories. Pretty upset at Apple right now. What a mess.
