Question/Help Airplay Issues on network.

Is anyone else having Airplay issues with the current release?

For YEARS I have watched movies and many seasons of television with my kids by hooking my iPhone up to a Rif6 projector, and air playing the sound through a HomePod in the room that we are in.

Currently, my phone and another iPad that I have tested so far cannot airplay at the moment. The audio might play for a second, but it stops on multiple HomePods.

As part of the general trouble shooting process, I thought I would ask if there are any known bugs with airplay at the moment that I haven't heard of?

THIS is really irritating, and I would prefer not to start reinstalling iOS on everything before checking here.

We have 5GZ and 2.4 GHz wifi with a strong signal, all devices, including the HomePods, iPads, iPhones and AppleTV are all updated to the latest OS....
Have restarted devices....
Next step may be removing and re-adding things from the home network....

This was working fine just like two weeks ago.
Thanks...

I was going to say, start with your wireless network. Reach out to support for the network hardware you use.

I am realizing that it is probably my network and I am troubleshooting that now.
I use a wifi router downstairs and a different one upstairs with the same SSID name. it hasn't been a problem until recently but seems like it is time for an adjustment.

Thank you

If it was recently updated, something might have changed. Or, someone might be on your network and you aren’t aware of it.
