Troubleshooting Splash page
- If your the splash page displays a hotspot deactivated message please ensure your AP MAC has been added as a gateway to the hotspot.
- If the splash page fails to load please ensure the walled garden has been properly configured.
- If the splash page fails to trigger at all check your VLAN settings. If the VLAN is bridged to CA you must add a layer 3 address for the controller.
- If devices load the splash page properly but after pressing connect the splash page is loaded again please ensure the RADIUS secret was correct applied to both servers.
- If guests can connect but no guest connection data is populated in the dashboard please ensure you’ve checked RADIUS Accounting under advanced options.
