Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else is getting this page popping up constantly on their mbp or apple devices.

the page shows:

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Success</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>Success</BODY></HTML>

From what I have read about this url, it's a page that gets requested to confirm if the wifi is connecting via a captive portal. I believe this page contents are incorrectly html encoded, resulting in my computer thinking that it's behind a captive portal, and then serving the page results as if it was supposed to be a login/agreement of TOS.

Is there a way to turn this off completely? it's rather annoying.

Thanks.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Hello Guys,

I might have a solution. At least worked for me.

First of all:

I unchecked the "connect automatically" box on: System Preferences> Network > connect automatically(Wi-Fi part).

Second of all:

Third:

I followed this steps: About Wireless Diagnostics - Apple Support

Fourth:

I watched this video and I did exactly what he is saying:

Final Step:

I reconnect all over the again my Wi-Fi and I HAVE NO MORE this pop-up annoying message:

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Success</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>Success</BODY></HTML>

I hope this help for you as well.

Regards,

Woke up this morning and the problem is gone!!

Not sure if something was changed on Apple's end. I did change my WiFi password and admin password, but not sure if that is what fixed this.
