Failed to detect a change in your network settings.

In the Fortinac self-guest register, user registration is done, facing issues like "Failed to detect a change in your network settings." So I fixed this issue by enabling RADIUS-COA on Fortigate. Fixed on Android, but this issue is still on the computer window machine. How to fix this issue. viber_image_2025-08-14_14-09-54-745.jpg

Hello @williasthomas192004 ,

 

I found a KB related to your issue. Can you try the solution mentioned in the document?

I think the third case in the tech tip could be your solution:

detectionTimeoutSeconds = 160

This solution does not work.

VLAN was changed but not changed automatically; need to type ipconfig /release , ipconfig /renew. Then change. I don't want to type manually . This is not a proper way.

Once the VLAN has be changed FNAC normally sends a trap to the switch to bring down the related port then another trap to bring it up again. This will force the client (without PA) to resend a DHCP request.

In your case this SNMP step has failed, and it is usually a misconfiguration in SNMP. Check if it is RW and if snmpwalk is returning information, otherwise fix it then redo the test.

 

Edit: Ignore this suggestion. Didn't notice this is WiFi

Is this Windows host connected on the same SSID as the working Android or is it a wired host?

Since the supplicant in the end host is not used in this case (MAC authentication), the host is not aware of any network change until a port bounces or a SSID disassociation happens.
You need to check through the FGT logs, what happens with this host status after a CoA/DM is received by FNAC.
