iPhone 14 always uses cellular over wifi

If I turn off cellular it works properly on wifi, but if cellular is on it always uses cellular.

I've tried turning off wifi-assist.

I've restarted.

I've forgotten the network, and readded.

On cellular I have around 2 bars - and my speed is 38.8 Mbps down, 8.9 Mbps up.

On WiFi I have full bars and I get 342.4 Mbps down and 348.6 Mbps up.

Really can't imagine why it's favouring cellular.

iPhone 7, iOS 14

Check Settings > Cellular > Wi-Fi Assist.

That’s exactly the behavior that occurs when Wi-Fi is poor and this setting is on.

Please read my post. It does it with or without Wi-Fi assist, however Wi-Fi assist is off.

Also Wi-Fi is not poor. It's full bars and 10x the speed of cellular while cellular is 1 or sometimes 2 bars, and it's still favouring cellular.
