Because the WIFI and Bluetooth are at the same device,

They are not the "same device" at all. WiFi is on PCIe. Bluetooth is on USB. Just because they are on the same PCB is meaningless and irrelevant.
 
So how do you connect the iPhone? I also have a keyboard that BT4LE.

The iPhone you just use the various features (AirDrop, handoff, etc.) ... to the extent they work. No need to pair it.
 
These are the models that I buy in my city.

Atheros AR9281
Atheros Ar5bhb63
Atheros Ar5bhb92-h
Atheros AR5B95
Broadcom BCM94313HMGB
Broadcom BCM94313HMG2L
Broadcom BCM94312HMG
Broadcom BCM943225HM
CPWL802P041T
Intel WiFi Link 5100

What do you recomend buy? Some have native support?
My laptop is an HP DV6875SE

Sorry for my bad inglesh

Most that you list are not supported. Read post #1.

Hi RehabMan, I have read this guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-10-11-usb-changes-and-solutions.173616/ for many times. I can not understand the usb working principle completely for my lack of hardware knowledge and bad english. I just try some work, but it can not find bluetooth.
  1. Rename EHCx->EH0x in DSDT. XHC is not necessary renamed to XHC1, right?
  2. install USBInjectAll.kext and FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext.
Could you please tell me simply that what is the right work should i do? what major information should i concerned.

thanks a lot!

USB is off-topic here. Reply in the USB guide thread. Be prepared to provide "Problem Reporting" files as requested.

Note: You do not want to rename XHC to XHC1. The goal is to use names that Apple *does not* use.

Just tried airdrop and it worked fine. So can I rule out a bluetooth issue with the driver? Because my bluetooth keyboard (Varmilo VB87MS) is not working and it worked fine with Mavericks. I've heard something about the bluetooth in Sierra being a new version and thus hardware that doesn't have up to date firmware will no longer work.
 
I do not know if you guys find this interesting, but... I have recently installed OS X El Capitan 10.10.6 on a Lenovo Yoga 700 14isk. Wifi does not work but Bluetooth does! Out of the box. It detects and can by detected by other devices. Can confirm file transfer works.

Network section from device manager on Windows

If I try to share internet connection over bluetooth, my Lenovo can connect to my Macbook as 'self assigned ip' and can 'not be connected to the internet'. Just wondering if I can get this to work. Any chances?

Edit: Connected my Macbook to they internet using a network cable instead of Wifi. The network tab on my Lenovo now shows a green circle in front of 'Bluetooth PAN' and got an IP address. However Safari pages keep loading forever.

Edit2: It works! Had to turn 'bluetooth sharing' on as well as 'internet sharing over bluetooth' on my Macbook. Well, at least I don't have to transfer files from my Macbook to the Lenovo via USB anymore...

Hey I just built a new machine and installed macOS Sierra. Everything went fine except the wifi. I installed a TP Link TL-WN851ND PCI Adapter. The system recognises it and it connects on startup for about 1 minute, then drops connection. Any help will be appreciated :cool:

Sorry 4 the bad english :!:
