Need advice for Wifi PCI-E Card.

[kenwsf]

Dear All Hackintosh users.
I would like to upgrade my wifi PCI-E card for MacOS Big Sur, Monterey and even for Venture too.
Any suggestion for the wifi adapter list buyer guide:
1. TP-LINK WDN4800 N900
2. Fenvi T919 Wifi / BT 4.0 PCIe
3. Fenvi FV-HB1200 Wifi / BT 4.0 PCIe

Which is the best and best for compatible or native for MacOS MacOS Big Sur, Monterey and even for Venture?
Anyone has been using the above wifi adapter now?
Can share the experience for installation?

1. TP-LINK WDN4800 N900

Needs extra .kext, personally wont bother.

2. Fenvi T919 Wifi / BT 4.0 PCIe

Works out of the box w/o needing kext install, the BT is can be finicky.

3. Fenvi FV-HB1200 Wifi / BT 4.0 PCIe

Slower wifi than T919 but I heard the BT is not as finicky.

@kenwsf,

I recommend the Fenvi T919 that is rated 1750mbs. The T919 runs at 1300mbps in 5.4Mhz. I've got several for my systems.

@Stork
Thanks for your suggestion.
I am going to upgrade to Monterey.
So is this Fenvi T919 fully native and just plug and play for Hackintosh ?
Any problem or need any special kext or setup?

Plug and play, but you may have to modify your USB map to accommodate the card's USB plugin.

I have no idea how to mapping the usb.
Is it hard to lean or easy to map for USB?
