Ethernet is fine as long as both devices are connected to the same SSID - it won't work if your ethernet cable is connected to the modem and not the wireless router for example.

Your PC and mobile must be connected to the same Network/SSID and spotify should be running on your PC.
In your router settings, check that UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is enabled.
Make sure that Windows shows your network as private and not public.
Set exceptions for spotify in any firewall or internet security programme. If you are unsure how to do this, temporarily disable them.
Check that you haven't already hit the limit of 3,333 downloads per device or 9,999 downloads across all devices.
If you are using a wifi network outside of your home, there is every chance that the protocols used by spotify for downloading are blocked.
