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

​

macOS 10.15.7 (19H114)

Here's the hardware I'm running piece by piece:

  1. MSI MAG B460M MORTAR WIFI (Intel® B460 Chipset)
  2. Intel® Core™ i5-10400F 2.90GHz (up to 4.30GHz) Comet Lake
  3. Corsair VENGEANCE® RGB PRO 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz CL15
  4. Storage:
    1. Samsung 860 EVO SATA 2.5" SSD 500GB - macOS main storage
    2. Seagate Momentus 5400.5 ST9250320AS SATA Hard Drive - for Storage
  5. MSI Radeon RX 5500 XT GAMING X 8G (1845 MHz) GDDR6 GPU
  6. Intel® AX200 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2.4GHz-5GHz up to 2.4Gbps WiFi 6
  7. Realtek® ALC1200 Codec
  8. Corsair CV Series CV650 — 650 Watt 80 Plus® Bronze Certified PSU
  9. MSI MPG GUNGNIR 110R Mid-Tower USB 3.2 Gen 1/2 ARGB Case

What's working:

  • Bluetooth/Wi-Fi (although speeds are significantly reduced) - through the use of AirportItwlm and IntelBluetoothFirmware.
  • iServices - all messages sync over iCloud and I am able to use Siri and FaceTime as well as continuity features etc.
  • All USB ports
  • Proper sleeping/wake features.
  • Audio - using Apple ALC kexts, my hardware layout 1 sounded and worked the nice.
