Continuity and Handoff Capable Apple Mini Cards + PCIe and mini-PCIe Adapters

[UtterDisbelief]

Is this an adapter or a 2-in-1 card? Thanks. It looks a little suspiciously cheap

Hi there. Not my post I know, but I've seen these cards too. They don't have a BlueTooth radio so they won't do Handoff.

However they have a compatible Atheros chipset so should be plug and play, dual-band wi-fi.

No advantage over the TP-Link in the buyers-guide because that card is faster. The Fenvi is only 300Mbps.

So it's cheaper but slower - as far as I can see!

Thanks! I just need bluetooth for handoff and couldn't care less about wifi so I'll just get a bcm94360 card then.

Get the card in my signature, its PnP and just works including handoff. it is a PCIe card however. its 1300AC and BT4

Check you link, I guess that card is out of stock or something - I see no AC option.

Which PCI-E Adapter works best with Sierra ?
Is it possible to use a Magic Keyboard in Bios with that ?

it looks very similar except there are only 3 wifi antennas instead of 4. says supports handoff on the card, I would assume it would work but I couldnt tell you for sure.
I know the Fenvi works perfect out of the box, I would just order it from china but if you want to take your chances on the other one let us know if it works.
