So I've got a BCM94360CD in one of those PCI-E cards - this model here - and it works great for WiFi. However, Bluetooth is awful. Like, pretty much unusable. Get four feet away and it's bad news, buster. Again, WiFI works great. I've made sure I'm only connecting to 5GHz 802.11ac networks so there's no bluetooth interference. I've changed the antennas and changed the orientation of the antennas. I've ensured that the leads are connected all the way through and through, reconnected them myself. And yet... its garbage. These headphones I can pair with my MBA and go clear across the house, in other rooms and it's still connected without problems. So it's not the cans this time. I've seen a few other threads where people talk about the same thing, but there's not really much that is conclusive (or makes sense for a slightly-more-than-beginner like me). I've seen where people say "get an external antenna (and stick it right on your desk so it's right next to your Magic Mouse/etc)". There was even a thread here I found where someone was saying it wasn't getting enough power, and to run some power injector magic shit. That's punching above my weight Soooo.... What are my options? I can't be the only person who's dealing with this now. Is there a fix I need to run a special kext for? Some magic patching I'm not doing (I'm not doing much if anything - I'm 10.14.5, running iMacPro1,1 because iGPU is off and I get full acceleration on my RX580 and iTunes DRM works, otherwise I'm pretty standard on stuff. All kexts in /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other, everything cleaned up nice before going to 10.14.5, I also didn't try it before when I was 10.14.4 on iMac18,3 so no benchmark there to check) Could I even go with a dongle to solve the issue? I like having Handoff and AirDrop (when it wants to see the other devices I own) so I don't want to lose functionality to gain. [link] [comments] |
