GEC,sorry my question was badly worded.I am referring to a Toshiba laptop which is on Ethernet cable.At the moment I am connected to the internet with WIFI only,& no Ethernet cable connected.I would prefer to be connected to the internet with Ethernet cable only & with the option of switching on WIFI if needed...this is how my laptop worked previously.Thanks

So...assuming your laptop has an ethernet port:
Obtain a Cat5e cable of sufficient length, and connect it to the laptop, and to a LAN port on the back of the router.

If you wish to switch it to WiFi, disconnect the Cat5e from the laptop, and turn the WiFi on.
