Allan Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Try using the itlwm.kext, look what the dev said about the AirportItlwm.kext "AirportItlwm.kext uses Apple's IO80211Family. It provides certain Airport features but lacks stability compared with itlwm.kext due to the ambiguity of reverse engineering."

schrup21 Posted November 22, 2025 Share Posted November 22, 2025 (edited) One thing I would generally recommend: Set different SSIDs for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz on your Wi-Fi router and only use the 5 GHz network in macOS. This can help avoid or reduce Wi-Fi/Bluetooth coexistence problems. don't know if this helps: I don't have issues with my AX201 and never had - but I built my own Intel Wifi KEXTs with the latest Firmware from the Linux Repository. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/linux-firmware.git You can determine firmware model of your module with IoRegistryExplorer: Spoiler ...and put the one from the linux repository in the firmware folder of the cloned Itlwm repository folder: Spoiler Because you only need the one for your module, all the rest of the firmware files can be deleted, which drastically reduces the file size of the KEXTs - The Debug Version of Lilu has to be placed in the Itlwm Repository folder as well as MacKernelSDK - Built the KEXTs within the Itlwm folder (terminal): xcodebuild -project itlwm.xcodeproj -configuration Release -alltargets build This is not entirely true: "Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201" WiFi 6 is not possible as it's "currently disabled" according the developer. IntelBluetooth can be compiled using the same method. However, the required firmware must be determined using dmesg (DebugEnhancer): sudo dmesg | grep IntelFirmware Edited November 22, 2025 by schrup21 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/354814-intel-wi-fi-6-ax201-160mhz-is-unstable-keeps-disconnecting/#findComment-2844030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
