A cable connection is always faster more efficient then wifi.

You do not say how much data is being moved, if it large amount of GB it can certainly take more than 2 hr on wifi..

The most trouble free way to move to a new machine, is using the Setup Assistant on the initial boot of a brand new machine— you have one shot here. Set up your MacBook Pro - Apple Support

The second best way is use the Migration Assistant.
