Alexa / Echo multi-room music grouping
I am using Eeros for the first time. I have 9 different Alexa Echo devices and when I used my old Apple routers I had them all hooked up via the Alexa app to play on an "Everywhere" multi-room music group. I could listen to music through the whole house. I hooked up Eeros and got all of my echos on the "one network" but some are connected via 2.4 and some via 5.0 Ghz. The echos have also connected to different eeros bases. Does anyone know why multi-room music group can't connect them all? Is the issue the 2.4 vs 5.0 ghz? Is it that they are linking to different eeros bases? All three of my eeros bases are plugged into the router via ethernet cables. Is that the issue? I have spent hours trying to fix this.
Thanks.

Have the same problem.
a few weeks ago, I started to have trouble with multi room speaker group w Echo speakers. I thought it was just a glitch and didn’t think much of it. And it never worked since then.
Today, I was tinkering around, and found that there was something strange when you create a new Multi speaker group in Alexa app. I could only select the Echos that are connected to the same Eero station.
i am guessing this has to do something with audio sync issue. But effectively, Eero’s mesh router and Echo/Alexa app broke Multiple room speaker feature!

I am having the same issue. All 3 of my Eeros are updated. I have 4 Echos (two dots and 2 shows, all are 3rd gen). I have 2 Echo devices connecting to the same eero, while the other 2 are each one connected to a different eero. All of them are connected to 5Ghz. The “all house” or “different floors” option on Alexa App won’t work. I would love to know if this is something that Eero is planning to fix.
