Best connection method?
I've gone away from wireless connectivity in the main (2 iPhones, an iMac and an iPad being the only ones using wireless), but my iMac, printer, 2x BT TV boxes, 2x smart TV's, DVD player, a PS4, Hive and a Time Capsule use a wired network through 3x PowerLine adaptors (1 in the lounge, 1 in a bedroom and the other in the 'office')
However, when my iMac backs up to the TC, everything slows down and the TV pictures (through the BT TV boxes) go 'blocky'.
I appreciate there are quite a few devices on my network, but generally things are fine - until the backup - so I'd like to ask if there is a better way to connect the TC to the iMac that won't affect the network. I thought backing up wirelessly was quite slow, especially when a full backup as being done, but I don't think there is any alternative - without splashiing out on a Thunderbolt or other (Firewire?) type of drive.
Comments and pinions would be appreciated :-)
