Apple time capsule and iMac 5k

[alwaysbeincontact]

HI All,

So Ive been having some internet issues with my time capsule and Apple support wants me to take it to an apple store to get diagnosed since its still under warranty. So I'm waiting for my appt to bring in and get replaced.

Im now using a google router for the time being.

My question is, can i connect my time capsule to my iMac via ethernet to backup? Is it faster than usb for saving?

Thank you,

Anthony

Yes you can.

My son set up my TC, but this may help
