Yes, it's possible to transfer files through ADB (
first option), both wirelessly and wired (also check out Android Commander app if you're transfering files to PC). With USB cable you can get around 4MB/s (depends on a lot of factors), which is in most cases about twice as fast as transfering wirelessly over router (
second option).
My
third option is using Android's file manager like Solid Explorer which has support for Windows SMB shares, and transfer files over WiFi AdHoc connection (which bypasses a router), but AdHoc connections are only possible with PC's, AFAIK.
Fourth option is starting an FTP server on the phone and connecting it to the WiFi access point (similar to AdHoc) created on another device. Still much faster than transferring files over router, and close to ADB alternative.
Fifth option is the mother of all these above, a true Mass Storage Mode with the only limitation of the USB controller on your source and target devices (and sometimes the quality of USB cable).
MTP, as it was already said, if also very fast, but has lots of limitations and bugs.
1) Timestamps of copied files are messed up.
2) Files which were deleted still show as existent.
3) Locked files cannot be copied.
4) Can't see files which I see on the phone.
5) Hangs for a few minutes when creating new folders.
6) etc etc...
EDIT: and I forgot the
sixth way to transfer files: WiFi Direct. Both devices must have support for it (both hardware and software), or else it won't work. PC WiFi network cards rarely support it (mostly Intels), but most of newer Android devices support it also. It's very fast, as fast as wired ADB connection, maybe even faster, depends on the WiFi Direct device implementation.
