Migration assistant cannot connect to my old imac and asks me to give the address of my time machine. How do I find it?

Migration assistant cannot merge from my old imac even after I disabled the firewall and restarted both computers. It asks for the address of my time machine. How do I find it?

Is there something else I should try?

iMac 24″, macOS 12.6

Thanks very much for your advice. I do not understand why would Apple suggest that it would be easy usingWi Fi when it does not work?

I wish I knew, but trying to use WiFi fails about 100% of the time.
