Captive Portal Popup Always opens very slow in iOS

Hi,

Recently I connect the my company public wifi. The Captive Portal Opens very slow. (30 - 40 seconds)

But Other Platforms like android and windows captive portal opens quickly.

I am using iPhone 12 mini with latest iOS 15.3. I read old apple forums, apple have this issue with iOS 12 and fixed in iOS 13. I cannot found this is OS issue or network issue. But other platforms showing captive portal very quickly.

Same problem here, send me and email

Hi @jegankarthick, I wonder if you have any advanced with the issue on captive portals. From this side we have a consistent delay of 45 seconds since the iphone try to reach the domain of the page, until it is push by the Apple Push Notification Service on the iphone.

I suspect that is because my portal is only in http, in the capture of wired shark I can see that there is communication between the Iphone and some Apple IP's (17.57.144.27) with TLSv1.3 format. Maybe the Iphone try to reach the domain in https with SSL certificate, because it does not exist after the 42 seconds opens the http format by the APN service.

Hi @EfrainSilva,

Thanks for your reply. Could you share the wireshark details for my understanding.

Hi @jegankarthick, yes how can I share the wiredshark captures with you?
