      Mmm, just noticed your diagram shows an IP that doesn't conflict but no subnet so it just correcting that to /24 may be enough. So the LAN should be 172.17.1.1/24

        Here is a more complete picture.

        Yes, misc is able to reach the internet without issue.

        From 172.17.1.111

        ip route
        default via 172.17.1.1 dev enx9cbf0d001279 proto dhcp src 172.17.1.111 metric 20100 
        blackhole 10.1.100.0/26 proto 80 
        10.1.100.17 dev calieb72027faf7 scope link 
        10.1.100.18 dev cali3867c773915 scope link 
        169.254.0.0/16 dev enx9cbf0d001279 scope link metric 1000 
        172.16.0.0/12 dev enx9cbf0d001279 proto kernel scope link src 172.17.1.111 metric 100

          172.16.0.0/12 dev enx9cbf0d001279 proto kernel scope link src 172.17.1.111 metric 100

          Fix that. The subnet should be /24 to avoid a conflict.

            I deleted the route and pinged; then restored it as 172.16.0.0/24 dev enx9cbf0d001279 proto kernel scope link src 172.17.1.111 metric 100 and pinged again.
            That did not seem to help

              That subnet is defined in the 3100 in the LAN config. You need to set it there.

                Do you mean in Interfaces / LAN (mvneta1)?

                If I make that change when I save I get...

                The following input errors were detected:
                IPv4 address 172.17.1.1/24 is being used by or overlaps with: WAN (172.16.0.22/12)

                  Ah, Ok, then both segments are incorrect you definitly don't need a /12 subnet anywhere.

                  Ok, use a different private subnet on the 3100 LAN like: 192.168.100.1/24

                    That seems to correct the problem.

                    There can be no overlap between the subnet and its parent?
                    I guess that makes sense.

                      Yes you cannot have the same subnet on more than one interface it breaks routing.

                      But you shouldn't have a /12 subnet on any interface. That's >1M hosts! If you're using the 172.16.0.0/12 private range you should choose a smaller subnet from inside that.

                      So I recommend you change the subnet the eero is using on it's LAN at some point.

                        That makes sense.
                        Thanks
