Hi everyone, I’m facing a persistent issue with my Guest Wi-Fi setup on Meraki APs. Here are the details of my configuration: SSID Security: Open Splash Page: Sponsored Guest Login Addressing: NAT Mode (Meraki AP assigned) Clients: Specifically affecting iPhones (iOS). The Problem: When a guest scans a QR code to join the network, the iPhone connects to the SSID, but the Captive Network Assistant (CNA) popup (the splash page) does not appear automatically. The device often stays in a "limited connectivity" state or, worse, switches back to 4G/LTE because it doesn't detect the captive portal immediately. If the user manually navigates to an HTTP site like neverssl.com, the splash page appears and works perfectly, but the "Initial Redirect" via QR code is failing. What I’ve tried: Verified that apple.com and captive.apple.com are NOT in the Walled Garden. Tested with both "Captive portal browser" set to "Appear" and "Block". Support suggested looking into RFC 8908 (DHCP Option 114), but I don't see any option to configure the Captive Portal API URL in my dashboard under NAT Mode. My Goal: I need the Splash Page to trigger instantly when the QR code is scanned, without forcing the user to manually open Safari or toggle Airplane Mode. Has anyone successfully implemented RFC 8908 on Meraki NAT mode? Or is there a specific "Feature Flag" that Support needs to enable to make the hijacking of iOS traffic more aggressive? Any advice or workaround would be greatly appreciated.
