Shame on me for not following my own thread. I updated my notification
settings, so will be more prompt in future replies.

Two networks, sort of. My (now five!) Squeezeboxes/n/m are all on a
separate network behind a Linksys router, but the Linksys is a client on
the Eero network for internet connectivity, so technically it's
double-NAT'd. Eero seems to handle double-NAT gracefully.

I have a Mac mini running LMS that bridges both networks so I can
control the SBs from iPeng or a browser, or iTunes with Shairtunes.

To Eero's credit, they've made many firmware updates since my original
post, and this is all supposed to just work now, but I haven't gone back
and taken the Linksys out and re-attached the SBs to the Eero network.
It ain't broke, so I'm leaving well enough alone for the time being. I
like my music. Radio Paradise in FLAC now!

Would love to know if folks are using Eeros with multiple SBs with
success in less wacky network setups than mine.
