TACT1CAL Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hey all,so I just got my new Wifi Card thinking that it would be supported OOB. It's an Azurewave AW-CB160H with a BCM94360HMB chip. It's being recognized by OS X and the WiFi icon is there but I can only select one of my networks (an old Wifi router from my ISP) and it's so slow that I can't use it. I can't even load up a simple google search.So I booted into Windows to check if the card is working but it's not OOB. After a lengthy hunt for drivers I found that the Asus PCE-AC68 uses the same BCM76360. I installed the Asus drivers and low and behold, it's the same {censored} connectivity as in OSX.Do I need to update the firmware maybe? Is the thing broken? I got it off of eBay, is there a way to verify that it has indeed the BCM94360 chip on it?Any help would be appreciated! Edit: the country code appears to be set to XT. Could that be the problem?

al6042 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Check out the 5 GHz patch on the following page: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292542-airport-pcie-half-mini/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACT1CAL Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Check out the 5 GHz patch on the following page: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292542-airport-pcie-half-mini/ My second wifi network has a 2.4 and a 5ghz network so it should at least pick up the 2.4 one if it's a 5ghz problem? The card appears to have the country code XT but I'm in Germany. Could that be the problem? I will check out the guide, although it's a little confusing to be honest. Will this update the devices firmware? Or is this just a fix for OSX. I need the card to work properly in Windows as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al6042 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Allerdings.... You should have a KextToPatch entry in Clover so the card is set to DE as the country code: You can modify it with your own 2-letters country code : Comment BCM94352 5 GHz (>10.10.3) Name AirPortBrcm4360 Find 41 83 FC FF 74 2C 48 Replace 66 C7 06 44 45 EB 2B EDIT: With this patch it will only be used with OSX while your other OS will not be changed.

TACT1CAL Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Awesome, thanks for your help! One more thing though.. I installed clover using the "multi tool" (is it still not allowed to name them here?). So by clover do you mean a separate application in OSX or the actual bootloader where I choose what partition I wanna boot from? Sorry for being a noob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al6042 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I mean the actual booloader, since the latest Beast-Tools are also using Clover... You can use the Application "Clover Configurator" to mount your hidden EFI-Partition, load the config.plist and add the KextToPatch entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your first post you mentioned Comment BCM94352 5 GHz (>10.10.3) but I have the BCM94360. Is that a problem? I'm still a bit lost here Edit: btw I got my clover config.plist open now, but I'm not quite sure where to go from here Edit #2: Okay I figured it out. Country code is DE now but nothing else has changed. The speed is still bad and my other two networks aren't showing up at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACT1CAL Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Okay I got it working now. It was the crappy antennas that were included with the card. I re-attached them and put them outside of the case. I can connect to my 5ghz network now and I get 30Mbps. I should be getting 50Mbps but thats okay for now. I will be getting proper antennas, hopefully it will work out. Thank you so much for your help al6042! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
