Network issues on Hackintosh or unsupported Macs are typically caused by chipset incompatibility, incorrect kext pairing, or corrupted network preferences. Here is a structured approach to resolve them.
Step 1 — Identify Your Network Chipset
Open System Information > Wi-Fi (or Bluetooth) or use Hackintool to find the exact controller model.
Step 2 — Install the Correct Kext
For Intel Wi-Fi use AirportItlwm, for Broadcom use BrcmPatchRAM, and for Ethernet use IntelMausi or RealtekRTL8111.
Step 3 — Reset Network Preferences
If Wi-Fi connects but has no internet, delete the network preference files and reboot.
Step 4 — Verify Location Services
Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and ensure it is enabled.
Expected Results
- Wi-Fi connects automatically after reboot
- Bluetooth pairs and remains connected
- Location Services works in Maps and other apps

Original Question: "Gigabyte ITX Z390 AORUS PRO issue"
Hi, I have a Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO ITX motherboard, and I do have two WD NVMe SSD installed at two M.2 connectors, and the only 16x PCIe is occupied by the GPU. Someone told me I should replace my wifi model with bcm94352z since there’s no place to install one in order to use airdrop and handoff. I just want to make sure this way will work before I purchase, or is there a better way to solve this issue?
