I am having just the hardest time with the guest captive portal / splash page in Ubiquiti UniFi. I am on version 5.0.7 with the WAPs on firmware version 3.7.5.4969. I've set up a guest network with guest controls. There is a known issue with the captive portal / splash page that when you connect to the guest network with a mobile device, specifically iOS device, sometimes you need to physically open the browser, initiate a website access before the guest portal will come up. There are instructions for older versions of Ubiquiti that indicates how to force an automatic redirection which I've followed the steps as best as I can for the latest version. It occurred to me that I actually needed to use Legacy JSP and check that I was going to override the default templates with a custom one. I then pasted code into the index.html file to force a redirect (in other words, bypass any kind of terms of use page or "connect" button) in the hopes that this would show the splash page (really, the institution's homepage) whenever a user connected to the network, especially an iOS user. However, all that happens is that I see a blank white page that looks like it is trying to load something (i.e., do the redirect) but then nothing ends up happening.
Having to explain to the client that they may need to tell the users to open a browser and try going to any webpage is going to be a pain. Why can't this work like any other public WiFi network you connect to??
