I started using Migration Assistant to transfer data from a 2017 MB Pro to a new MB Air via wifi but it estimated 30 hr transfer time and I canceled. Should I use USB C connections directly vs. ethernet adapters for faster data transfer? Also, I read that I must continue with Migration Asst; true? It may be simpler which I like!

Wi-Fi is problematic for these transfers. It is too slow for these very large transfers. Yes, use a USB cable and continue. It should complete within an hour or so. However, what was already transferred may have some errors. So, check it out when the transfer is done.

If the USB cable you have does have the correct connecters to fit into each computer of drive, use it. If not, then an adapter will be needed to convert the cable to a connecter that fits. Does that make sense?
Very helpful. But can I use usbc cable directly or use ethernet adapters which I do have? Thanks Ronasara.
Thanks, Ronasara.
USB C directly vs with ethernet adapter?
