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.
