Wireless is not working so I inserted an Ethernet cable but it still doesn’t work.

The Ethernet cable needs to be inserted at the time the HomePod is turned on. If there is no cable inserted at the start-up time then the Ethernet port becomes disabled and wireless becomes active. So even if a cable is inserted after start-up the Ethernet port is already disabled and will not function.
