Can I enable WIFI6 on an intel AX210 in Ventura?

So far this is the only info I could find on it, but it's dated and no confirmation if it works.

as mentioned in FAQ, Does it support 802.11AC and 802.11AX Yes, 802.11AC and 802.11AX (currently disabled) support was implemented since v2.0.0. now it is v2.2, so could 802.11AX be enabled when ax...

Does anyone know if there is any chance to move to 802.11ax with Ventura?

Support for AX210 (MVM Gen3) family of devices was added to Airportitlwm.kext and Itlwm.kext in release 2.1.0 Stable.

So you should only need to make sure you are using the correct version of Airportitlwm.kext, I.e the specific Airportitlwm.kext for Ventura.

Release v2.2.0 stable · OpenIntelWireless/itlwm

Support macOS Ventura, Location Services and Wi-Fi list should all work properly. Support connecting to hidden SSIDs from iwx devices(with itlwm.kext only). Synced updates from OpenBSD (partially)....

Hello Edhawk. Thank you for being here every time. Very kind of you

I have the 2.2.0 stable, the latest.

System info says:
Supported PHY Modes: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac

Do the data refer to the router or the wireless card? If it's the former, then I'll need to wait for the new router (ax) to verify it and it might work.

Handoff and Universal Clipboard work only from iPad or iPhone TO hackintosh, not vice versa (any fix for it that you know of?)

Thanks again

Intel WiFi/BT cards don't provide all the Apple Continuity features. This is a well known issue with Intel WiFi/BT cards and both kexts. Depending on which kext you use dictates which continuity features are available.

This is what the Itlwm docs say about Airportitlwm.kext

Limitation of AirportItlwm.kext​

• Handoff and Universal Clipboard are the only supported Continuity features (opens new window).
• Instant Hotspot from iPhone can be recognized but the hotspot must be enabled directly on the iPhone first, see itlwm #749(opens new window)
• Unable to connect to Hidden Networks.

Have a read of the Itlwm FAQ for more information.

Thanks. I read all the docs before coming to the forum. It says Uni Clipboard is supported but on mine works one way only.
It may be normal, they don’t go in such details, but it seems it woks fine to others.

As per the ax, there are mixed and dated info. I guess it’s not reliable yet. I don’t seem to find success stories.

 

[Edhawk]

Reliable, no not to my knowledge. But that is one of the many compromises that using an Intel WiFi/BT card requires.
