Working BCM94360NG native support for catalina VS BCM94352 DW1560

I'm having these results in Mojave, seems good? View attachment 499508

yes it is showing no packet loss and low jitter, as long is the speed is similar to other wireless devices you should be good what is the speed you pay for or your wired speed?

which version of clover you are using?

Yes that is indeed my speed, I had same results on my rmbp. I should test with a faster connection though, I have one near available. I'll report back.

I'm using 4979, I didn't find the courage to update it yet, I'm new to hackintosh!
My EFI folder is nothing special. Just the usual kexts, and after reading the topic today I've decided to trash the airport/bluetooths ones.
Also airdrop worked before but it doesn't now, even with the kexts. But airport was always sketchy for me on rmbp.

I did some testing this morning... One laptop with DW1560 and one laptop with BCM94360NG. Tests were done with both laptops on the same spot on my desk.

BCM94360NG (I got about 300Mbps downloads once or twice but couldn't repeat it when I started taking screenshots):


DW1560:


Obviously, not needing any special kexts to get the card working is great but I don't feel the trade off in performance in worth it. I went back to my DW1560 on the laptop that I use everyday.

fairplay, but you can not get airdrop working with the DW1560 correct? speeds are looking good on DW1560! really good, if airdrop were working on it that would be amazzzingg

I'm using the acidanthera forks of AirportBrcmFixup for Wi-Fi and BrcmPatchRAM for Bluetooth.

With the AirportBrcmFixup, be sure to disable the AirPortBrcm4360_Injector.kext.

With the BrcmPatchRAM, only use BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, BrcmFirmwareDate.kext, and BrcmPatchRAM3.kext.

No. I don't use external keyboard or mouse with my laptops.
