Model: TL-R480T+  
Hardware Version: V9
Firmware Version: 9.0.1 Build 20180117 Rel.30328

So I manage a very small network of let's say 200 users. We all work in a municipal building and we pay for our own private internet. The internet feeds a WiFi network that consists of Apple airport devices on 4 floors. It all feeds back to the TL-R480T+ router. 
 

I have enabled the captive portal in the router to use to authenticate users to use the network. I am using the built in portal that comes with the router. 
 

The problem I am having is users are having no problems logging in and authenticating with the router. After a few days when they log back in they get a message that their user name is already using the maximum number of users. 
 

I created a user list and have set each user for dynamic binding so it captures their MAC. 
 

has anyone seen this type of issue?

It seems that each account has the settings of maximum users. Did you set maximum users as 1?  If so, maybe can check if the account is already used by others.

yes set to 1.   I dint think that's the issue. 
 

I had 1 issue with androids and the randomize MAC settings in their WiFi. I had everyone disable that feature. 
 

now I'm having a problem with iOS devices.

It seems that R480T+ has the table of authentication status. Maybe can check if the account was already authorized.
