I'm running 16.04 still and need to connect via internet to my campus network. However they use a captive portal login that works fine in windows, but Ubuntu doesn't like. Every browser I try gives me an error when the portal is trying to redirect me to itself. Historically I never have been able to get a captive portal to work on Linux - anyone have any ideas?

This seems to be a known issue with 16.04 and Linux-unfriendly captive portals, possibly fixed since 17.10 but I'm unsure and can't test it. Meanwhile, if you can't upgrade or try with the latests Ubuntu versions, use the route command in terminal.
$ sudo route
You should see something like:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default 10.0.2.2 0.0.0.0 UG 600 0 0 wlan0
10.0.2.2 * 255.255.248.0 U 600 0 0 wlan0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 wlan0
Type the gateway adress in your browser (here: 10.0.2.2), this should get you to the captive portal page. Try with different browsers if necessary.
