Dear Raghu,
Briefly tested the updated Beta firmware (3.8.3.11), connected to the FB enabled ESSID, get prompted in the captive window (OK on Windows (Chrome), Chromebook (Chrome), and macOS (Safari). Once authenticated, the WAC730 Web UI is normally reachable. Will have to wait at least one hour until the authentication does expire. Then (or more tomorrow) we will try if the "normal" management ESSID does still require the authentication.
The access to the WAC730 admin Web UI is fine again the other day, no more forced FB logins on accessing it. Thank you again for taking care!
Regards

Hi schumaku
Could you please download the detailed logs from monitoring page and share with us? We will check and update.

Hi schumaku
Quick question - Could you please let me know the MAC address of your wireless station?
Thanks,
Raghu
- Uh, what wireless STA? The workstation with the Web browser is (modern times) connected by Wi-Fi to that very same (W)LAN, it's some Inhell AC7260 adapter.
Reading between the line - does the WAC maintain a list of MAC address or prefixes to determine if the client has to be captured to the portal? Not the worlds best idea if true.
We must be able to maintain the WAC from any location, using any kind of connectivity.
Will share the logs when I have some better network coverage again - replying from rhe dog walk.
