      I'm using 2.1-RC0 (i386) built on Thu Jul 4 03:04:00 EDT 2013

      And noticed yesterday that the Captive Portal login page is not showing up after connecting to the guest wifi.
      So yo can't use the internet.
      Requesting the login page works if I go to: routerIP:8000 but logging there is also not helping..
      But at that point I see a user logged in on the captive portal status page.

      What can I do to try to fix this?

        If you CP is activated on LAN interface with IP 192.168.10.1 then the DNS for all the clients on the LAN interface must be 192.168.10.1.
        If it is not the CP will not show up.

        Further the CP only shows up when accessing http websites but not when accessing httpS websites. This is because httpS traffic is encrypted.

          DHCP on OPT1 is correct and on my iPad I have the 192.168.10.1 as DNS and got a IP from DHCP.
          Still no login page. just a connection time out after a minute or so…

          Also adding the MAC and/or IP address wil not allow me to use the internet.

          On the lan port everything is working just fine and have internet access after connecting to the wifi.
          (CP is not enabled on lan, only on OPT1)

          Everything has worked fine, only thing I did was update once in a while...
