this the one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Broa...-E-WiFi-WLAN-Bluetooth-4-0-Card-/251723761338 is a PCI-E tho which what will fit for me

Where does this plug in? Would I need to get an adaptor for it?

My research has shown that alot of cards have issues if they're not in pcie 1. I'm welcome to hearing your advice.

Directly to my MB since its supported. Luckily, there is enough space between the slot and the GPU card.

So you are plugging this into any pcie slot? How can I find out if my MB (motherboard right?) is supported?

I'm trying to understand so that hopefully I can do the same thing.

Thanks. Alot of research I've done into getting the T919 model is that it won't work (for some reason) if it's not in the x1 slot. I'm going to try it since it seems easy to return if it doesn't work!

Initially, i got to know that my Motherboard supports it by searching for the MB manual guide online. You know the model of your motherboard, right

Why would any of these cards be limited to only working in x1 slots? PCI-e should be forward and backwards compatible. I've even jury rigged video cards in to x1 slots and it worked.

Btw, BCM94360CSAX and BCM94360CS2 also work fine.

The issue with the 94360CD is that bluetooth on these cards only seems to work properly when in a X1 slot.

Bluetooth on all of these cards are not wired to the PCI-e slots. They all have cables that are connected to internal USB headers. Even if you don't plug the card in to a PCI-e slot and just provide power and plug the cable to USB, Bluetooth should work.

This is what I run in my Mojave setup , everything works out of the box, hand off, hotspot, airdrop etc , In fact I bought two of them as I have two Mojave setups.
