How to Fix Acer Aspire 7 ( IND) Hackintosh Catalina Success
Network issues on Hackintosh or unsupported Macs are typically caused by chipset incompatibility, incorrect kext pairing, or corrupted network preferences.
Quick Fix Steps
- Identify your network chipset: Open System Information > Wi-Fi/Bluetooth or use Hackintool.
- Use the correct kext: For Intel Wi-Fi use AirportItlwm, for Broadcom use BrcmPatchRAM, for Ethernet use IntelMausi or RealtekRTL8111.
- Reset network preferences: Delete /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist and reboot.
- Check privacy settings: System Settings > Privacy > Location Services must be enabled.
Verification
- Wi-Fi connects after reboot.
- Bluetooth pairs and stays connected.

Original Question: "Acer Aspire 7 ( IND) Hackintosh Catalina Success!"
I am a noob to the hackintosh community! But after a bunch of tinkering and exploring i finally built a pretty stable Hackintosh for this laptop.. Thanks to Opencore and amazing redditers for helping!
Here Are The Specs:
- CPU: Intel i5-9300H (Coffee Lake Plus)
- GPU: UHD 630 + Nvidia 1650
- RAM: 8GB DDR4
- Motherboard/Laptop model: A715-75G
- Audio Codec: Realtek
- Ethernet Card: Gigabit Ethernet
- Wifi/BT Card: Intel wifi card 6 (AX200/201)
- What guide/tool followed: OpenCore FTW
So.. starting with whats working :
wifi , trackpad , keyboard , usb mapping , webcam and pretty much else that you would use (except Bluetooth)
Bugs?
- Well The Power management does work... like disabling gpu , using cpufriend helped.. but on normal usage it can go till 3h max... ( IDK how good is the battery backup is , comment on it)
- Bluetooth devices keep on disconnecting
- Sleep is broken.. (drains battery as it would normally)
- Nvidia 1650 wont work
- Fingerprint Not Supported
I think thats pretty much it... well i got few questions tho :
- Is it worth staying on (Long term) ?
- Can it Harm the HW?
- Any Fixes for optimizing the battery will be helpful!
Thanks To All those who Helped! If Anyone needs my EFI , I'll share it :)
