    Hi @spencerross
    If you're using hotspot on the firewall itself, the auth page works by inserting a redirect into your initial HTTP request which takes you to the captive portal page. DNS is allowed to work as it'll never make it to the HTTP GET and redirect without it. If you're seeing a DNS error, check that your tablet can resolve DNS, and that whatever DNS servers it's trying to use are allowed.

    Android devices, by default, are going to prefer google's servers at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

    If you are having trouble with the Mobile Hotspot feature on your phone, it could be a problem with your mobile carrier or mobile data connection. You can also try to fix the issue by rebooting your phone, performing a software update, or doing a factory reset.
    Thanks
