I installed the new Eero 6 Plus Amazon Router and it comes out of the box w/ DHCP set to 192.168.4.x and not 192.168.50.x as in my old Asus Router. IntelliTouch ScreenLogic can only be used with the provided ScreenLogic PDA, Tablet, and in-wall Touch Screen. I must say for paying over $1000 to update the unit 2 years back this is pretty poor programming from Pentair Techs. Before contacting Pentair Water Technical Support, please note that Technical Support personnel can only assist with relevant questions regarding IntelliTouch ScreenLogic hardware and software. Also, this guy has detailed out another process to do this : Pentair ScreenLogic Protocol Adapter Issues When we initially installed the ScreenLogic setup, I used my phone to connect to it remotely (ie: I shut my phone's WiFi off, and connected over the WWW VIA the cell network), and it worked fine to connect and run through initial config and also to control the pump.

Once you get connected you can then reset it back to the new routers DHCP range by clicking on 'Configure IP Info' on the Screen Logic PC app. Pentair Protocol Adapter remembers the old IP and its somehow hard coded in the bloody unit. NOTE: There is no need to update your adapter if it already has the latest firmware revision. You have to set your new router to use the same DHCP range as the previous router and then it will work : So if you previous router was 192.168.1.1 to 254 then manually set it to that, if your previous router was set to 192.168.4.1 to 192.168.4.254 then set it to that and it will work.
