I ordered one of these, along with 2 IPEX4 extensions, and 1x IPEX4 to an antenna. I will be using a BCM943602CS WiFi card. I can provide install photos once the parts arrive from TBFOCUS.com if you're interested

Alternatively, here's an m.2 card with the macOS supported chip https://ebay.us/nmM3HK

I wish I found out about this before ordering a range of parts! :)

@chrisallen I feel your pain! I'm expecting a number of "try and see" parts from China in the next week or so. Clearly this new part was built for purpose as wherever I look it is quite expensive.

Have you got one and tested it yet, please? This looks so promising and exciting!

Yes. Its just a broadcom manufactured chipset on a custom m.2 pcb. To macOS its all the same.

If I swapped from DW1820A to the linked card from eBay, is there a software change I need to make?

It works! attach my photo here. Adjusting the Athena is a little tricky.

Did the wifi signal drop after the reverse card and 2 M.2 cards were installed? On the Internet to see the reverse card from the second M.2 card is too close, heat can not spread very well, resulting in poor wifi/bluetooth.

2 IPEX4 extension

Can you please share your photos of the installation? I still can't get it. Do I need the adapter and BCM943602CS card to avoid blocking the M2 slot and finally use 2 M2 SSD + native Mac WiFi/B card? Should I buy the IPEX4 extensions, and if so, what for? I'm very new to all this, and your help will be SO appreciative, please!

So, this card doesn't require any adapter for use in Haden Canyon, right?

wireless_card

And what about the space between this wireless card and M2 SSD? Can I use SSD with thermal protection like this?

adata

Will I need additional cable for the antenna? Thank you for the answer!

immie-jay commented 3 years ago

I have the same card - works perfectly. Wifi/BT working.Handoff, Continuity, Apple Watch unlock working. Airdrop as well. Screenshot 2021-03-02 at 13 08 46

Fits perfectly even with XPG GAMMIX S50

Only difficulty is pushing in the antenna connectors - the inbuilt ones or the longer one with pigtail that is more powerful and sticks onto the lid.
