Captive portal plays poorly with Google home's "Family Pause" feature. |
||||||
Issue descriptionWhat steps will reproduce the problem? (1) Connect to wifi on a Google home that you manage (2) Enable the "family wifi" feature and pause wifi for your device. (3) Try to use the network What is the expected result? The pause might cause captive portal to trigger. That's fine, but if so the captive portal UI should display the home's "Network is paused" screen. What happens instead? If captive portal triggers it shows a page that says "Not found" which is very unhelpful. I suspect that the captive portal code is trying to open a page directly on the router's IP which is causing the router to 404. One solution might be to check the return value on the captive portal page and if it's an error attempt to navigate to some well known public page (a help center page?). Doing so would give the router another chance to show something useful and would show a potentially useful page if the router was allowing a subset of traffic through.

It's a Google WiFi feature. It allows you to block specific devices from accessing internet - either permanently or on specific schedule. If you need a router to play with, I can bring one over.
