However when there is poor Wi-Fi the result is often rather indeterminate.

 Sounds suspect...
 Linux NetworkManager comes up with messages like "connected to LAN but not to the internet" because the radio WAN supplying internet to the router is temporarily dead. I've never seen similar on my phone, something like "your router LAN is available as wifi and using but it's useless".

I have seen it on my phone. Often it switches automatically to data connection.
I see the message when telling my phone to connect to the wifi spot in my camera. I have to insist that I do want to connect to that wifi despite not having internet.
