DOES MY BIOS HAS A WHITE LIST?

[ANDYGF]

I'm thinking about installing this card : 

BCM94352Z DW1560 06 XRYC 802.11ac NGFF M2 867 Mbps BCM94352 BT4.0 WiFi

It would work?

Thats a 7th gen Intel processor model....whitelist has been gone for about 4 years now so there is no whitelist. 

The Broadcom wifi will work (but see below) and I assume you are using that for Hackintosh compatibility. 

The only issue I can see is that in that model if your laptop originally came with an Intel wifi card it has 2 antennae but if it had Realtek or Broadcom it only has one and the one you want to install will not work very well with a single antenna. From official specs it looks like you had the 1 x 1 wifi card and not the Intel.

Thanks for the info, looks like i didn't search enough before asking...

my laptop indeed has 1 x 1 wifi, there is any way to ad an extra antenna? or should i find a new m2 wifi & bluethoot card
compatible with mac? Thanks

Yes theoretically a second antenna lead can be added but it takes a complete teardown and rebuild of the laptop. 

If you can find an M.2 1 x 1 wireless card that is Mac OS compatible I would go in that direction. Would the Broadcom card offered with the laptop from the factory be Mac compatible? I have only dabbled very little with Hackintoshing but I know it is very unforgiving as to the hardware you can use.

Im handy with  the screwdriver 🙂 , i think that is easier to tear down the pc than messing around with hackintosh wifi, other things are easier but for wifi you need a very specific one or its a hell to get it working. thanks for the support, i let you know how it went. already found the antenna on amazon. wish me luck

Good luck? Do you need the Manual or a video?
