      The experience from an end device is that it will have an IP via dhcp but the captive portal page will not appear. Device then has no internet and cannot ping the gateway.

      There was one device that had been connected earlier and still had an IP but did not show up as an active user under Status > Captive Portal. The gateway could not ping the device nor vice versa. The device wasn't showing in ARP. After going to Services > Captive Portal and hitting save, all issues were gone. Gateway could ping device and vise versa. Captive portal page came up etc.

      I tried setting a hard timout (couple of minutes past the voucher expiry) but this did not resolve the issue.
