Summary

Some Android-based devices are not redirected to the Captive Portal when the user gets connected to a WiFi network with an Android device. 

...

  1. The Android devices check for the following domains:
    http://clients1.google.com/
    http://clients3.google.com/
    http://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com
    http://connectivitycheck.android.com
    and other domains used for this purpose by Google.
     
  2. If the domain is accessible and returns “generate204” code, the captive portal is not triggered automatically. “generate204” response means the device is connected to the internet.
