Balance 305 Captive Portal Doesn't Work!

Help! My IC2 Captive Portal is Getting Applied to ALL my SSIDs

You have set multiple SSIDS, one for public use and others for internal. For the public captive portal, you have just configured Social Wi-Fi using InControl. However, you now find that ALL of your SSIDS have Facebook captive portals applied to them. Reason: This is happening because Balance and the MAX devices (which are delivering your captive portals) apply captive portals by VLAN, rather than SSID. If there are more than one SSIDs on the same VLAN, then the captive portal settings of the fi…

1 .Captive portal is enabled at the B305 VLAN
2. While the AP just bridge different SSID to VLANs for the captive portal service.
