My home network has been wholly WiFi for nearly two years. Works well enough, but I’m looking for improvement. Network consists of 2 iMacs, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV to a Time Capsule base (and to an iiNet Bob Lite NBN FTTH modem). (Phone not used much on network.) I seem to get noticeable wait-time on Apple TV and AirDrop due to Time Machine backups.
I just plugged in a Cat6 Ethernet patch cable from one iMac to the Time Capsule. All seems to work OK. Apple - System Preferences - Networks show both WiFi and Ethernet are now connected. Are there any settings or preferences that need to be changed? Can the iMac be forced to use the Ethernet connection for Time Machine backups to “free-up” the WiFi? Or is this not relevant?
