Mac Loses Internet – Why When Connecting iPhone?

internetiphonemacoswifi

I'm using wifi for internet access, but when I connect my iPhone via lightning cable all my internet activity comes back as "destination unreachable" or similar errors.

How do I troubleshoot and correct this issue so the mac stays online using the wifi when I connect my iphone?

Goto Settings -> Networks and check that your connected iPhone is not first on the list.
