Windows 10 detects this by trying to go to msftconnecttest.com in a browser if it detects using some heuristics that the wifi requires signin which should redirect you to the wifi signin page. Android also detects this as well by going to some Google-owned page that redirects you to the wifi signin if it detects that it is needed. What are you using that this is still a problem?
- kalleboo 9y agoiOS and macOS both have captive-portal detection (in fact I think they pioneered it) but it's not 100% fool-proof and sometimes doesn't show up when it should. Also supposedly some captive portals trap the well-known URLs used by captive portal detection for whatever reason (which is why Apple uses a huge list of seemingly-random domains)
