Q: USB tether using wifi connection on Iphone

I've been doing USB tether with iphone connecting to home wifi so that the data transfer using wifi to save my data plan for over 2 years and now it is gone with just with a network reset on iphone yesterday. I've done network reset for few times previously but it didn't effect the way of data transfer using home wifi on iphone while USB tethering. Any idea why is this happened and why the network reset of iOS 7.0.3 changed the priority of the wifi towards 3G?

iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.3
