config portal - Opens msn.com - With Computer Ethernet and WiFi Connected

Google Chrome

Wifi Manager Works Good For Me For A Long Time BUT.

I have been using wifi for ever Just The other day i plug in my laptop ether cable and discovered by chance that WifiManager When connecting to the AP It Did Not Open The Manager Config Portal ? It Opened msn com ?

Laptop Has Both WIFI AND Ether Cable Connected

Works Good When Ether Cable Is Disconnected This issue Dose Not Bother Me I rarely use ether net

you seem to suffer from an issue with blocking specific websites of microsoft, this seems to be a known behaviour and has probably nothing to do with the device

when using a captive portal you should disconnect other networks if you have this issue, I do not know of any workarounds

mindforger commented 5 years ago

Workarounds are probivided in the linked articles, if you meant my post :)

I saw those two links before i don't need my friends and family going to the reg. or any other Mods. And disconnecting other networks if you have this issue: Is Not going to happen. I Posted This So Others Maybe Aware Of This Prob. Wifimanager Should Only Open The 192.168.1.4 A Local IP. Not An Internet Link. When Connecting to AP I Though. This Prob. Is No Prob. Of Mine. If U Get The Code Fixed Let Me Know. Good Luck To All

There is nothing to fix, you can turn off captive portal and manually access the ap, that is all. If you have another internet connection and your os can get to the captive portal check page, then it will not open the wm captive portal. This is an OS issue, nothing to do with WM.

you are on the internet, so your browser opens the internet..

Maybe there is a way to force the wifi network to be priority, or something, Not really sure what is causing this, it seems like a OS bug

I am using two WiFi cards when developing with WiFimanager.

My solution is to edit %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

And I have added 192.168.4.1 www.msftconnecttest.com

That will redirect resolv www.msftconnecttest.com to 192.168.4.1

This is an old old old trick.
