wired and wireless connection on gateway

Gateway Xb6 when setting up, if I have wired and wireless checked only the TV had internet (ethernet cord is attached to TV and Gateway). In order to have wireless, I had to uncheck the wired box. The TV is taking minutes to connect to the wireless recently. I would like to have the original set up with both wired and wireless working.

My ethernet cable is not working again. It worked a coupld days and then went back to wireless. It has not worked properly since I got the Xb6 box from Xfinity. I had my own routher and the ehternet worked fine. My husband wants the ethernet connection because sometimes it takes a long time to connect to wireless and he gets irritated.

It worked for a couple of days and now I am back to square one. Ethernet connection on wired selection on Samsung TV will not work.  Will have to proceed further. My old router that I personally owned, worked fine. It was when I got the XB6 Gateway is when I could not connect to wired with the ethernet cable.
