Review on πŸ”Œ Fenvi T919 Adapter: Plug and Play WiFi Card for macOS PC with Continuity and Handoff Support - 1750Mbps 5GHz/2.4GHz MIMO 802.11ac Beamforming+ by John Baker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Plug and play, but Wi-Fi performance is unstable. No fast card on Hackintosh.

I bought this for my Hackintosh after BT stopped working on my previous PCI Wi-Fi/BT card. Works without kexts and that's a big plus, plug and play! But the Wi-Fi performance is unstable. After some trial and error, I found that the card doesn't like it when my FiOS router is set to "Self-Organizing Network" (I only got 20Mbps!?). It also doesn't work well at 2.5GHz, it likes 5GHz a lot more. Now I get 150 to 200 Mbps at 5 GHz. I will experiment with different antennas and see if I can improve these values a bit. TO UPDATE. Stay away from this card, that was a waste of money. My current speed is below 75Mbps at 5GHz. I went back to my original setup with a TP-Link Archer T9E Wi-Fi PCI card and Bluetooth USB dongle. (I wish I had done this sooner and returned the card for a refund.).
