Wireless Xi6 Streaming TV Box Ethernet Port to Ethernet Port on XB6-T Wi-Fi Router question?
The back of the Wireless Xi6 Streaming TV Box has a Ethernet Port. I have my XB6-T Wi-Fi Router right next to it. The XB6-T Wi-Fi Router has two Ethernet ports. Right now I have a Cat 6 Ethernet Cable running from the XB6-T Wi-Fi Router to my PC using the Ethernet Ports.
Can I plug a Cat 6 Ethernet Cable from the Wireless Xi6 Streaming TV Box Ethernet Port to the Ethernet Port on my XB6-T Wi-Fi Router and eliminate the slower WiFi connection?
IF I can connect them - how do I let my Xi6-A know to use the direct (Ethernet) connection and not WiFi?
Thanks!

Plug the Ethernet Cable into the Xi6 Streaming TV Box – Connect one end of the Cat 6 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of your Xi6 Streaming TV Box.
Connect to the XB6-T Router – Plug the other end of the cable into one of the available Ethernet ports on the back of your XB6-T Wi-Fi Router.
To make sure your Xi6 Streaming TV Box uses the wired Ethernet connection rather than the Wi-Fi, it should automatically detect the wired connection once it's plugged in. However, in some cases, you may need to switch the network preference on the device. If you're unsure, you can always go into the settings on the Xi6 box and look for the option to disable Wi-Fi, ensuring it defaults to Ethernet.
A few things to note:
The Ethernet connection should give you a much more stable and faster connection for streaming, which is perfect for HD or 4K content.
