Wi-Fi Stops Working when Wired Connection is Plugged in

So just moved into a new apartment, got my wifi set up. I want to connect my TV and an IPTV box via a wired connection and was able to at my last apartment. However, the moment I connect the ethernet cables, the wifi stops working and the wired connections don't work either. The moment I unplug the wired connection the wifi comes back on and I am able to access the internet.

 

What settings do I need to change in order to have the wireless connections and wifi together. As mentioned before, I was able to do this earlier but now I can't use the wired connections at all.
