The WiFi on my old MacBook Air no longer works. How do I migrate my files from the old MacBook Air to a new MacBook Air via hardwire?

Hello CaptainChris42,
Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with moving your data to your new Mac.
Since wireless doesn't work, you can use a direct connection to your Mac: Transfer your information to Mac from another computer or device - Apple Support
"Connect the two computers with a cable (such as Ethernet or Thunderbolt) or make sure they’re connected to the same wired or wireless network."
Or you can use a Time Machine backup. Make your backup of the older Mac to an external hard drive, then move the external drive to the new Mac and restore it. These two articles will help:
Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support
Restore your Mac from a backup - Apple Support
If necessary, check this help article: Identify the ports on your Mac - Apple Support
Cheers.
