Hope you get the "why" figured out. With all of the machinations I did to get the system working, I simply stumbled upon the fact that WiFi was working and Ethernet wasn't. However, that was before Brantome's helpful assistance herein and more machinations.
So, I may have tweaked a setting...
After getting the Roon>WiiM Pro>Echo Link>Echo Speaker Group working via WiFi, I NOW have it working over Ethernet!!🥳
As documented above, early in my attempts to make the proper WiiM Pro>Echo Link connections and the proper Alexa App choices, I couldn't get Ethernet working. Somewhere in that...
Among the many attributes of Roon that I have enjoyed, has been its solidness. I fire up the HTPC, it loads the Roon server (core) and with no additonal futzing, Roon always finds and loads Roon end points (i.e., Roon enabled devices)!!

Opps, I confused the WiiM's remote mic with the WiiM unit having an internal speaker. Thanks for the clarification. It's an important one.
My experience with Alex and Echo devices is certainly not as broad as yours.
Partially because we were building a new house in 2018 and partially...
Brantome: I'm not sure where to begin, your advice is just that good!(y)
Firstly, I was NOT aware that the WiiM could be used as you said: "a real echo" and that it had an internal speaker. That fact alone, provides information that I would NOT have assumed. But after all of my machinations...
I just bought the WiiM Pro and Amazon Echo Link. My intent was to do Multi-Room-Music with an Alexa (MRM) Group.
I’ve named the Alexa Group: “House”.
To the “House” Group (of 2-Echo Speakers, just to begin), I've included my new Amazon Echo Link also as a Device. I set the Echo Link as “Line...
