How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables?

I can second the recommedation for using powerline ethernet adapters. I have one running from my modem to an adapter plugged into a wall socket. I have 5 streamers of various brands scattered about my house (including the garage) - each plugged into an adpater in a wall socket (even one plugged into a powerstrip). They all stream perfectly with no drops or lags in signal. 

Another poster mentioned TP Link. They are great and so are others. I've learned that you don't have to use the same brand. I use a mix of TP Link, Netgear and Tenda. 

Audiophile purists will likely say sumthin about noise from all the other things using electricity on your circuit. Maybe my ears are defective bcuz everyting sounds just fine to me.

.... streaming from Qobuz, Tidal, and others are actually not streaming, they are download at maximum available speed, and then that song is stored in a cache ...

No, streaming really is streaming, it's not something else. Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify all use streaming protocols.

@cleeds You and fredrik222 are both correct...The term "Streaming" is a term we’ve all come to understand and accept as movies or audio distributed via the internet or satellite. However streaming in a truer sense is AM FM radio or analog TV. no caches etc. You hit the nail on the head by stating "Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify all use streaming protocols". To crumble up the differences between radio transmission and internet/sat transmission a perfect marketing tool was required hence "Streaming" and to go any deeper would make the average persons head explode to crumble up the differences,not only that the intellectual curiousity isn’t there in the first place.

No, broadcasting is not streaming and downloading is not streaming either. Streaming is a specific protocol. These words have specific meanings, there's no need to redefine them.

A good example of what @balooo2 o2 is referencing can be seen by going to a YouTube video on right clicking on the screen. This pops up a box and then click stats for nerds. This brings up a data box and one of the stats is buffer health. While we all agree that Youtube is streaming, it downloads 10 to 60 seconds of video in the buffer (local memory) and then plays from the buffer. In the very rare event that your computer receives data with an error, the software simply requests that data be resent and fills it into the buffer. I am not sure how Qobuz handless their streaming / downloads but the theory is the same. I have read that for Qobuz a user an adjust the buffer size.  For some services, an entire song on your playlist can be stored locally.
