Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth [Guide]

[acropolis]

Hello All,

I just read through all 43 pages and am still quite lost with which card will suit my needs.

My motherboard failed last week, and I replaced it with a Asus Maximus Gene V. This new-to-me motherboard has a combo card with mPCIe on one side and an mSATA on the other. See video below for more detail. I would like to have Handoff/Continuity with my iPhone, unlock with my Apple Watch, AirPlay to an Apple TV, and Bluetooth connectivity for my Magic Trackpad 2, AirPods, and Logitech KB and mouse (which should wake the machine upon key press or mouse click). Considering these wants, which card would you recommend?

Waste of time, see Post #1/Broadcom WiFi + BT
Use mPCIe 2.0 x1 slot located on mPCIe Combo™ expansion card.

Thanks, toleda. From Post #1, two cards fit the Gene V's mPCIe combo card:

• BCM94360HMB/AzureWave AW-CB160H (native support)
• BCM94352HMB/AzureWave AW-CE123H (supported with kexts)

I would prefer to go with the CE123H since it matches my motherboard's two antenna config, as long as functionality is the same as the natively supported CE123H. So will the CE123H work as well as the CB160H once the kexts are correctly installed, or should I buy the CB160H for native OOB support?

Yes

should I buy the CB160H for native OOB support?

Native OOB only if Apple branded 4360. Must add 3rd antenna connector kit.

Yes

Native OOB only if Apple branded 4360. Must add 3rd antenna connector kit.

Thanks, toleda. I bought a CE123H and should have it on Thursday. It will be nice to have my Hack back up and running...and with Handoff.

Sorry. Now I do it right.

Do you have some helpful answer for me?
