None other than the builtin Ethernet on the Asus X570-F board is not a great LAN controller for macOS. Even with the correct kext and boot arguments it can be flakey in macOS.

I don’t use the builtin Ethernet on my X570 motherboard, I use a PCIe add-on NIC instead (Aquantia 10Gb AQC113CS Ethernet card) to work with my 10Gb home network. So I don’t have any issues with the Ethernet connection.

Any macOS compatible PCIe NIC would do the same for you, whatever the speed of your network.

You would need a spare M.2 WiFi/BT connector on your motherboard, or a spare PCIe x1 slot.

If you have the Asus X570-F Gaming motherboard it has a builtin Intel WiFi/BT card, which currently populates the only M.2 WiFi/BT connector.

To install an M.2 card such as those in the link above, you would need to remove the Intel card and replace it with the MediaTek card. This can be a bit of a pain, as you need to remove the LED cover over the ports serving the Rear I/O plate. This is held in place by a couple of small screws located on the underside of the motherboard. So you actually have to remove the motherboard to undertake this task.

Using a PCIe x1 adapter that contains a MT7922 WiFi/BT card such as the Fenvi AX5400 card linked below would be the easiest option.

would it work with tahoe 26.3

[Edhawk]

No. We are waiting to see if the drivers are present in 26.4

 

[poppylexi87]

what are the chance it be there in 26.4

 

[Edhawk]

Good from what I have been reading, but nothing is ever certain until it happens.

There are incomplete kexts/dexts for the MT7922 WiFi card in Tahoe 26.3, which it is hoped Apple will fill out with the release of 26.4. As the Mediatek MT7922 card is expected to be part of their low cost MacBook offering that is due to be released soon.

could be at the 4th march event

 

[Edhawk]

Yes, that is the current expectation.
