Will stay with my "no" for now.

Basically you are treating the LG TV as a switch which it is not designed to do.

What you may be able to do is to set up an Access Point or Range Extender.

More like:

Internet ----> Router ~~~~~wireless~~~> Access Point --------- Ethernet cable ----> Xbox

LG TV could continue to be wireless or wired to a port in the Access Point.

Do keep in mind that you should use a product made by your router's manufacturer. If you purchase a different brand...

What exactly are you trying to do?

But to provide an immediate answer based on the above - no.

Your TV cannot be both wired and wireless at the same time if I follow your intentions correctly.

I.e., Internet ----> Router ~~~~~wireless~~~> LG TV ----- Ethernet cable ----> Xbox

Do keep in mind that you should use a product made by your router's manufacturer. If you purchase a different brand and problems occur the two manufacturers will simply blame each other.
