    Just a personal experience , for those whom are using firewalla purple : 

    1) ensure you have 2 different devices, that has firewalla app installed and pre-configured with the F.Purple you have

     

    2) in my case, I’ve a iPad and iPhone, the problem with some of the cafes / hotel wireless, it might be “sticky “ on the connection, thus confusing for couple of folks, 

    summary to re-connect : once your connection is timed out, and require to relog in, simply just that another 2nd device, to connect to your F.Purple, its ssid/ Wi-Fi name you have configured, and the login portal should once again be available

    Bit of troubleshooting advice:
    If you have VPN Client set up on your Firewalla Purple 'TURN IT OFF"! before trying to connect via a Captive Portal.  Otherwise the captive portal request (captive.firewalla.com) returns a 'success' result, but never shows the portal for you to sign in.  Took me 90 minutes of trial and error to work it out!
