Ok, you're getting the wrong advice from some people posting here:

By default android apps are designed mostly for phones and tablets which only have WIFI connections. Some apps work on Ethernet and some don't. Some apps can be patched by decompiling them and making some changes to the code. If you have a rooted device, some patches can be made to your O/S - also there are some apps that can be installed on your device to spoof your ethernet to pretend it's wifi.

If your app is not working - switch your wifi on and ethernet off, problem solved!
