A lot of time I have to connect with a unreliable WIFI. Is there a way to make the iPad to disregard the WiFi and just connect with the cellular connection

Switching from Wifi to Cellular Why doesn't iPhone switch to cellular when network down at home or office? I have no problem using cellular when I leave either but if in location where normally connect via Wifi to LAN an on to internet if either the internet goes down or the LAN goes down I need to turn off Wifi to start using Cellular. Make sense? Maybe I've goofed in the Settings. Thanks for any suggestions.
