hahaha thanks 😂, but is there any way to force macOS to use the 5Ghz channel, sometimes the channel change itself to 2.4Ghz, or do you think that i broke the Built-in antenna, because that time when i'm replacing the device, i didn't know the antenna soldered to Intel wifi 7265, and now i'm using cheap small ngff antenna, does the antenna affect the network band???

Yes, given the nature of the signal (short waves), 5GHz networks will work better with 2 x antennas. I don't think it'll work properly on a single antenna. If you want to force your card on 5GHz, I guess you could try and split your SSIDs and have one for 5GHz and a different one for 2.4GHz.

Hello! I'm trying to get my card to work, the bluetooth literally works and is able to pick up my phone, however the PXSX device no longer shows in ioregistry under RP20.

Wifi does not work at all. What do i need to help diagnose this, and what steps should i take?

I am sure, it did not work before!

 

I only checked now after I read the post and I installed both Supplemental updates since I last tried.

 

Is it possible, that something changed with one of the last two 10.14.6 supplemental updates here?
