Asus PCE-AC68 & El Capitan

[mistergalaxy91]

Hello Guys,
The installation of my mackintosh has finished and with my big big surprise i've see that my asus PCE-AC68 wi-fi card is connected and fully working out of the box!
I've read on the forum that for this card it needed to modify or patch with clover something to unlock the 1,3ghz, it is true? or the card work just as is it out of the box?

i post here what i see in the system report

and why the card is see like a third party card? i see also the 1300 value down, near the actual connected network so does it mean that the card is actually working at 1,3ghz?

I recently got this card and found the performance is soooo poor in Yosemite.
I have comcast blast 150Mbps, In windows 10 this card can reach 180 Mbps, in Yosemite it can only reach 30Mbps.

still, download speed is only about 30 Mbps, on windows and iphone are both 180 Mbps.

But after I changed the settings for 5ghz to the following I got 180Mbps download speed.


channel width: 40MHz
channel: 149

I've got this card, having trouble on Sierra, have any of you upgraded to Sierra?

Maybe a fix for the wifi not turning on, but recognized?

I ended up installing Yosemite, works way better than sierra was.
