Hello!
I want to thank all the participants of this forum. Thanks to you, I solved a lot of issues by reading the threads!
I'm faced with the Fenvi network card problem for several months, tried to find a solution on the Internet, but to no avail.
I built a Hackintosh in 2022.
Ordered a Fenvi card on AliExpress to unlocking my Hack using Apple Watch. Use AirDrop and HandOff. Mostly used Bluetooth only, and it's worked with some minor issues. I used the Internet via Ethernet cable.
Now, using a cable to connect to the Internet became a problem. I started working with Wi-Fi BCM94360CD. Immediately I faced problems.
Hardware:
1. Motherboard AsRock Z370 Taichi
2. CPU Intel Core i7 9700KF
3. GPU AMD Radeon RX6600 XT
4. Wi-Fi board Fenvi FV-A436CD (BCM94360CD) PCI version. I can provide a link to the network card if it's not against the forum rules (AliExpress link).
5. SMBIOS MacPro7,1
BIOS settings:
1. CFG Lock - Disabled
2. VT-d - Disable
3. Above 4G Decoding - Enabled
4. Thunderbolt Security level - No Security
5. XHCI Hand-off - Enabled
6. Fast Boot - Disabled
7. CSM - Disabled
Very often macOS disconnects me from the access point, then I get a reconnecting error.
5GHz connection stops working, forcing me to 2.4GHz.
The speed is unstable, dropping to 5 megabits for download and 100 for upload. High ping. I've seen 3000 ms!
There's an MPB on the table nearby, and it gets about 280/170 megabits and a ping of 10 ms.
Bluetooth works terribly, my AirPods are detected by the system and connected. As soon as I turn on the music, the headphones disconnected.
Unlocking AW works 2 times and 20. Bluetooth setting window freezes when connecting to device.
At that time, I was using Monterey and thought that the problem was in the config.plist setting.
I completely reinstalled the system. Now I have factory new Ventura.
I didn't transfer the old config and SSDTs. Created it again, mapped USB using USBToolBox. But the problems weren't solved.
In Windows 10 Bluetooth works great, but there are also problems with Wi-Fi.
On Windows, I get about 200/170 megabits. Packets are periodically lost.
But when I reinstall the driver, the card starts working properly. I get 280/170 and ping is around 10ms.
Problems often arise when rebooting from Windows to macOS and back.
If I use Windows for a few days, the problem with Wi-Fi disappears. I get full speed. As soon as I reboot into macOS, I again get the same.
Sometimes I get full speed on macOS, but it doesn't last long. Therefore, I can rule out a problem with the antenna and signal quality. (Signal/noise -56 dBm/-77 dBm, full Wi-Fi icon in the status bar).
AirPlay works great with full Wi-Fi speed. When the speed drops, it skips frames and turns off.
At the same time, the system also stutters at the moment of missing frames.
What I tried:
1. Moved fenvi to another PCI-E slot
2. Swapped antennas using UFL replug
3. Reinstalled the system, correct config, re-mapped the USBs, SSDTs.
4. Used a different SMBIOS (iMac19.1)
5. Tried turning DisableIoMapper, DisableIoMapperMapping, ExtendBTFeatureFlags on and off in config.plist
6. Reset BIOS, NVRAM
7. Disabled Bluetooth physically, disconnected the cable from the internal USB bus.
I didn't change the router settings.
I have several Apple devices in my house (including an MBP with a BCM943602CS) and this work great.
Likewise, I have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi from intel built into the motherboard, I used them before buying fenvi, connecting kexts. Everything worked perfectly.
Yes, I disabled Intel Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in UEFI settings before installing Ventura and USB mapping.
I believe this is due to a problem loading the firmware into the ROM of the BCM94360CD when the system starts. But I could be wrong.
I've attached my config.plist and screenshots of the system report, as well as the Internet speed.
I apologize for the large text. Likewise, I tried to outline all the nuances.
Please let me know if you require any further information.
Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution?
Maybe I missed something obvious
Thank you very much for the answers and help!
