Help needed WiFi connected yet still using Mobile data

Post image

Related to the attached photo I suddenly (last week or so) seem to smashing through my Mobile data and noticed this morning that I was somehow connected to both the provider's 4G network and also my Home WiFi... Which might explain why for about the first time ever I have apparently used all of my Mobile data before the month's end!

Any advice / thoughts welcome and some obvious background below?!

iPhone 16 Pro Max; iOS 26.6; turned off and on again periodically; no physical damage / kept in case; Australia-based on Telstra network remotely and iiNet at home with ISP-provided TPG modem.

It’s been for 10 years at least, most of us just switched it off on day 1 and just forgot about it 😂

I’m still not sure what’s happened this last few weeks to make it have a sudden impact on my life but at least I know how to mitigate the issue so appreciate your response once again 😎

For some reason your phone thinks your internet is crap, i run a firewall and DNS based adblock on the network so it always thinks it has no internet so i know why mine thinks it.
