Hi Ben,

in the Forum are some workarounds for that, like MAC-Cloning.
It depends on the Roules of the WiFi owner

Disable Health Check on WiFI-WAN, set it as P1 on the dashboard with everything else lower priority, connect wifi wan to the harbour wifi.
Then connect a device and try and access the internet. The harbour wifi captive portal will come up do when you need to do there and from that point onwards - once you’re connected to the internet, any device connected to the BR1 will likely also have internet access.

Is the BR1 the only active WAN connection on the B580?

Make sure DNS settings are set to default/obtain from that WAN with the captive portal and not hard coded as external DNS servers may not be accessible while in a ‘walled garden’
