Step 1 — Identify Your Network Chipset
Open System Information > Wi-Fi (or Bluetooth) or use Hackintool to find the exact controller model.

Original Question: "Is it possible to have airdrop and continuity/handoff working but not iMessage or FaceTime?"
So I've exhausted my resources but without knowing anything else if I have all of this working, even Siri works but iMessage/FaceTime logs me out on sign in every time (big Sur). Is possible? Is it apple I'd related?
