How do I use my HomePod mini on an 802.1X Wi-Fi network?

How do I use my HomePod mini (HPm) on an 802.1X Wi-Fi network?

One of my HPm's works just fine...two others are not responding. Does anyone have solid knowledge/understanding about using HPm's on an 802.1x network. Apple's dox are two years old and don't seem to include a HPm.

HomePod mini, 15

I'm experiencing a HomePod mini which is not reliably connecting to my home network. My network does not have a captive portal or any sort of subscription requirement. It is set up to use 802.1X access control and my iPhone connects to it quite nicely. Of course, my iPhone must provide a verifiable user name and password prior to gaining access and I assumed that, behind the magic curtain, the iPhone would talk to the HomePod mini and inform it of the credentials. Perhaps not on the HomePod mini?

:-(
