By "remedy it" do you want the internet to not work when you get 2 IPs ? :-)

I have also encountered the same situation. This results in there being 2
default gateway routes on your system.
You can verify this with "route -n"

I have observed that whichever is the latest route added, is the one used by
the system and the former one is rendered useless.

In your case, it seems that both your routes are valid to get your system
connected to the WAN side and hence you were able to
surf the internet.

If you want to "remedy" this, you need to delete one of the default routes.

Thanks,
