Wifi

When I’m home the WiFi says I’m on but my phone chooses LTE. My iPad connects fine and my wife’s phone connects fine but mine always goes to LTE

Try restarting your router by removing all power for 15-30 seconds.

Also, go to Settings/Cellular/Wi-Fi Assist and turn it off.

Wifi Not Connecting My son's phone will not connect to our Wifi. He has reset his phone and we have tried a handful of tips on network issues. It says it's connected in his settings under Wifi but still says LTE in the upper right corner of his phone. Please help.

iPhone settings claim WiFi connection but phone using LTE Issue noticed on iOS 15.5 on iPhone 11. This happens every day to me, I’ll be using my phone in my apartment and notice my phone is using an LTE connection. I notice because the status bar says LTE and eventually in the month I get a notification as I’m at home that I’ve used all my data for the month. As someone that works from home and never had this issue before owning an iPhone I find this shocking. I used to use 2-3 GBs of data per month and now I’m clearing my 6 GB plan. when I go to my iPhone’s settings it says I’m connected to my home WiFi with 2 out of 3 bars of signal strength. Restarting the router has not worked. Neither has restarting my phone. Is this a known hardware or software issue?
