I purchased an Asus PCE-AC66 802.11ac card at Fry's yesterday, and a new Airport Extreme the day before. I happen to know someone who just purchased a 2013 MacBook Air, so I copied the IONetworkingFamily.kext and the IO80211Family.kext, and used Kext Beast to install them.
The card works, but it seems a bit flaky. The WiFi icon blinks from no bars to full bars, but Airport Utility says I have an excellent connection. I tried transferring a 16GB Folder with a season TV shows, to a Gigabit wired connection, It says 5 Hours to transfer, Data rate at around 1.5 MB/Sec. Sending the same data on a wired connection between two computers, 5 Minutes.
If I send the same 16GB file from another wired connection, to the 802.11ac computer, same deal, 5 hours and abysmal transfer speed.
Is there any other file I could edit to get things to run smoothly?
*edit - Installing windows now to test card there.
