We have the Pentair Intellicenter control panel. Pictured is manual and equipment to set up the inside components. The manual says the protocol adapter is needed. Our PB said he spoke to Pentair and that it's not needed. The person he hired to do our pool school believes it is. We've plugged in the interior equipment into the power source and router. The exterior box is unable to connect to wifi. Can it be set up without the protocol adapter? I'm unsure if our exterior equipment is installed correctly.
Pentair Intellicenter set up help

B,
The IntelliCenter does not use WiFi nor the ScreenLogic protocol adapter.. The outside antenna should connect to the inside antenna, but it is not WiFi.
Quit trying to set up WiFi..
Your outside antenna is connected to the IntelliCenter's Ethernet port like it should be.. Your inside antenna should be hard-wired to your home Ethernet.
It appears like your Ethernet link is working to me...
Thanks,
Jim R.

The protocol adapter is not needed.
You have the 900 MHZ wireless link that does not use WiFi. Ignore all the WiFi setup instructions and WiFi in the IntelliCenter panel.
Read the network setup section in Pentair Automation Systems - Further Reading
If you need more help I can do it later today.

1. Connect the indoor unit directly to your home network router port switch.
2. Connect the outdoor unit using the provided CAT5 cable to the POE dongle and the Ethernet jack on the PCB.
You should see the LEDs flashing as the two units make a connection.
3. Then do the Internet Connection Test on the outdoor panel.

Do not do "Connect to Wireless Network"

This is the surge board for your SWG and has nothing to do with your Internet connection.
Does your panel pass the Internet Connection Test?
What do you h get when you select that?
Show me the screen.
You have setup problems and not not electrical problems.
