iOS Disconnections on Open-Captive Portal WiFi

PatrickV — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 06:34:11 GMT

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing continuous disconnections with Apple iOS devices on a WiFi network configured as Open + Captive Portal with a corporate web page redirection.

The issue occurs in the following scenarios:

Each time the device roams between different APs.
Even when staying connected to the same AP, the captive portal page keeps reappearing roughly every 2 minutes.

We are noticing this behavior much more frequently with iOS devices compared to others.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue, or do you have suggestions on possible configuration adjustments or workarounds?

model APs: R350
