Troubleshooting Adapters:
Start by restarting your Router. Then keeping, this plugged in and shut down your Mac for 30 seconds. Once shut down, power on the Mac, and then see if all is set.

If the WiFi is at the top of the list and a WiFi network is available the WiFi will connect before the Ethernet. If the Ethernet is at the top of the list and an Ethernet connection is available the Ethernet will connect first. If whatever is at the top of the list is not available the network connection will drop to the second in the list.
Hi,
You don't need to do setting, just connect with straight Ethernet cable between adapter and router.
In network preferences move the Ethernet connection to the top of the list.
Hi,
It automatically move top of the list of Ethernet connection when connect via Ethernet adapter and router.
