Review on πŸ’¨ High-Speed Wireless Upgrade for macOS: BCM94360HMB AC WiFi Card - 1.3Gbps 802.11ac, 1300Mbps AW-CB160H Alternative with Bluetooth 4.0 by Shane Grosland

Revainrating 4 out of 5

OOB doesn't work on macOS, no Bluetooth

Wi-Fi works great. Good speed, good range. It's worth noting that almost all mini WiFi PCIe cards use IPEX connectors, which are slightly larger than the MHF4 connector more commonly used by M.2 WiFi cards. Oddly enough, this card uses MHF4 connectors. So you'll probably need to buy multiple adapters. That being said, I bought this card because it should work out of the box with macOS. it is not. You must use AirportBrcmFixup.kext. It's also worth noting that this card has absolutely NO Bluetooth. My laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad W530) has its own Bluetooth card. But it doesn't support handover/continuity/instant hotspot. Just something to be aware of.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Style 90
