Changing to Wired Connection

When I initially setup one of my boxes I used a wireless connection. Now I would like to change it to a wired ethernet connection but I can't find a way to do it. I tried resetting to factory settings but when it initialized it only offered to setup wireless even though it was connected to ethernet network. What I am doing wrong?

That's odd. Does your router allow you to turn off the wifi signal? U can do that and restart the box then it will be forced to use the ethernet connection. You could also try changing the wifi password then restarting the box.
