How can I migrate data from my old MacBook Air to new MacBook Pro using the USB C cable and not the WiFi. It’s so slow.

migration Tool is only able to transfer my data from old Mac to new using WiFi only if both the machines are connected to the same WiFi.

which is showing me 16MB/Sec transfer. i have more than 1TB to transfer.


i want to use my usb c cable to migrate all data which I presume is much faster. But it’s not happening. although I have the both Mac with the cables physically connected to one another.


how can I migrate the data Quick? That’s what’s my question? Can it be done without WiFi?
