if it's enabled on the tv (suppose some tvs may have a setting to enable it or not)

then if it was me then I would look into network settings, some wifi routers keep 2.4Ghz / 5Ghz / wired ethernet as separate networks and one has to manually bridge them in the routers configuration before devices on each of them can communicate.
