Need help getting my Screen logic connected. Was told I needed an adapter to connect ethernet to Starlink but it didn't fit, then I noticed Gen3 has two ethernet connections built in unlike Gen2. Was also told it wouldn't work with 5.0 internet, that I needed 2.4. Starlink Gen3 has the ability to split into both so I did that. Still no connection. Also could not connect remotely. This is new pool so hopefully I'm missing something easy?
Pentair Screen logic w/ Starlink Gen3

C,
ScreenLogic basically does not like anything new.. I'd try connecting ScreenLogic to an old NetGear switch/hub and then connect the hub to the Starlink..
Also, you have to run ScreenLogic as the Administrator.
Not sure that will help, but it is worth a try.
Thanks,
Jim R.

Welcome to TFP.
Why was an obsolete EasyTouch system installed in a new pool instead of a modern IntelliCenter?
The IntelliCenter network connectivity was greatly improved.
Pentair announced the following in April 2023:
Pentair is discontinuing the IntelliTouch, EasyTouch, and EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Pool Control Systems. These products will no longer be available to order starting:

That's a great question, I didn't realize that was the situation. It's a pretty expensive pool and I just assumed I was getting up to date equipment. I guess I'll be calling the builder tomorrow, luckily I haven't submitted all the payments so hopefully I'll have an Intellicenter system soon. Is there anyone who can verify Starlink with Gen3 router will easily connect to Intellicenter?

While I have not done it, from what I know of the Screenlogic networking issues, and the way the IntelliCenter works, you should not have a problem.
The IntelliCenter has a RJ45 socket on the PCB to hard wire it to your router. Or you can use the 900MHZ wireless bridge to connect to your router.
