Disable the captive portal but keep the hotspot?

On Mac, just after connecting to the Volumio wifi hotspot :


If I close the captive portal window on Mac, the wifi connection remains active and I can access the Volumio interface from a browser.

On iPhone, just after connecting to the Volumio wifi hotspot :


If I close the captive portal modal on iPhone / iPad, the wifi connection is interrupted and I cannot access Volumio from a browser.
