Should I get a new wifi/BT PCIe card like Broadcom94360?

[Blodg8]

Hi,

So, I was able to load Mojave onto my old build (see my signature). I have the TP-Link PCI Express Wifi Adapter 802.11N (N900) for wifi and its only for 'n' channel but I am getting pretty good DL speed of 100+mbps/ ul 77+MBps on a good day and ranging 60+mbps DL/ 40+mbps UL on days that we have so many devices connected. Probably 3-4 devices streaming movies and gaming. I have Fiber optic internet that is 1gbps dl speed and Nighthawk R7000. Also, is using this IOGear Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter for connecting my magic mouse, apple wireless keyboard and my mini Bose soundlink. Everything seem working. Do you think I should get the broadcom card for wifi and bluetooth so I can take adavantage of my AC wifi speed along with bluetooth handoff (what is this anyways?)? Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Then a Wi-Fi 5 card with a Broadcom chip like Fenvi FV-T919 will be suitable for your internet speed. You will have to use 5 GHz which also will not interfere with its Bluetooth function.

Your comment is quite timely as I was just about to post about this topic. I tried 2 Fenvi FV-T919 cards. I returned them both because every time I started a new video, the bluetooth signal disconnected for a few seconds. I'm now on one of these and am experiencing the same issues.

Do you think this is because I'm not limiting wifi to 5 GHz? If so, please could you let me know how do I adjust the setting?

Thanks,

If your motherboard has built in wifi/bt you need to disable it. If your motherboard bios has the option, great! If not, you need to disable the usb header that controls it. I had a bt conflict that gave me unstable results until i disabled my onboard intel wifi/bt. I’m using a t919

The signal is determined by your router. 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal does interfere with Bluetooth as it also uses 2.4 GHz. My Bluetooth dongle works much better after I switched to a 5 GHz router.
