Normally, 1st time extracted file from zip, or kext is copied from local A to B, need below commands

sudo chown -R root:wheel ~/Desktop/AppleIntelWiFi.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 ~/Desktop/AppleIntelWiFi.kext
sudo kextload -v ~/Desktop/AppleIntelWiFi.kext

Later on, if only edit/replace info.plist (location not change and no plugins module is replaced), below commands should be enough

sudo chown -R root:wheel ~/Desktop/AppleIntelWiFi.kext
sudo kextload -v ~/Desktop/AppleIntelWiFi.kext

@shuhung Would the Gen2 Driver itlwmx from the same developer be loaded the same way?

chown to root
chmod to 755
and use kextload to load the module

Latest Intel wifi kext from China web site, work well with AC3160 on 2.4GHz network (11bg mixed mode), should stable enough for 1440p @ 60 fps VP9 YouTube video playback.

5 GHz network also work but download speed extreme slow.

May need fixed wifi channel and bandwidth
Below router settings work fine with my Intel AC3160

I was able to make my WIFI (AC3160) work with this , even I can use I message and FaceTime ..
but its fine for using for normal browsing when I download or give it a load it makes the whole Hackintosh to freez and then I have to hard reboot ..does anyone have a fix for this ??

Use 2.4G network / 11 b/g/n mixed mode / bandwidth 20, BT heavy RX/TX load ok, no issue on my 3160 AC, so far so good.

Yes, but itlwmx native support load from boot loader, does not need load kext manually

Thank You!!
 
Hey guys, I've faced a problem that I couldn't connected to the wifi and the mac address not corrected.
I've change the config before load the kext.
How can I fix it?
Here is the screenshot, I've turn on the wifi, but the status shows off.
The Hackintool can't found the device either.

Never in version 1.2.3
Very stable at 2.4G network, AppleIntelWifi 0523 (ver 1.2.3) is recommended.
5G network get max performance, BitTorrent test also ok, sometime may drop connection (rarely), not as stable as 2.4G network.

For 3160 AC, BT module always problematic with me (even in Windows), disable it if possible, see below link for detail
