BCM943602CS Combo Card For Hackintosh

Status
Not open for further replies.
guys, I recently bought a BCM943602CS from China, and it works flawlessly, WiFi, bluetooth, airdrop, handoff etc etc, the only thing is my internet connection is slower than normal using this card. I live in a shitty building with a 25mbps bandwidth, and when I test my connection speed my hack gets something about 10 and 15mbps, but my iPhone gets full bandwidth, using the same server and app. Do I need to patch something? I had the same problem with a USB dongle (DWA-131) in the past, never found the issue cause. thanks in advance.
 
On macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 only Wi-Fi works and it's identified as 0a5c_21ff.

On Windows 10 both Wi-Fi and BT work perfectly and it's identified as 05ac_8290.
do you have to install diver to get the card works on window?
 
My BCM943602CS stopped working with 10.12.2.
I can't activate wifi anymore. Did one of you encounter similar problems?
Does any of you guys have an idea what I could do to get it work again? (Bluetooth is still working)
mine the same problem. Have you fixed it yet?

Yes, I downloaded Bootcamp drivers from macOS and then installed them both for BT and Wi-Fi.
My BCM943602CS was not genuine so BT didn't work on macOS.

I bought an original used BCM94360CD from eBay and an adapter on Amazon and now it works OOB with macOS - it works in Windows too but you have first to install drivers as written above.
 
i did order this card yesterday https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Broadcom-BC...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2763.l2649

Open Boot Camp Assistant.app, go to Action> Download Windows Support Software.
On Windows you have to install just the drivers for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth manually because the main setup that installs automatically the drivers you need itself doesn't work with Hackintosh
