Well, isn't that the default usually? At least my phones use wifi if
available and switch to LTE when not? Although there can be a problem
with that, if the wifi signal is weak the phone may connect to it then
decide wifi isn't working, switch back to LTE, then notices there's wifi
available and connects to it... End result, no connectivity unless you
turn wifi off. I used to have that situation at a specific part of the
office where I work but not any more (new phone, new office).
