You would post logs the same way you posted your EFI folder. Re: Wireless card, please consult our FAQs and Wireless sections. I've made several changes and corrections to the Clover config.plist. Try the attached using at least Clover r5107 if you're installing 10.15.4. config.plist.zip On the kext front, I see only 1 x major mistake: you're injection FakeSMC + VirutalSMC. You only use one or the other. I would suggest you start with FakeSMC before you eventually try or move to VirtualSMC. KP seems to show a last entry with "still waiting for root device" which suggests USB-related issue. Could you take a dump of your ACPI BIOS tables at Clover main menu by pressing F4? Tables should then go to the ACPI/origin folder of your USB installer. Post a zip copy of the folder afterwards.

Your Clover config is totally incorrect with incomplete SMBIOS section, irrelevant patches and incorrect graphics settings. Then, there is no reference to any renaming of the Embedded Controller and that's the 1st thing you need to look into with Catalina. It's been specifically stated since Catalina was released and clearly mentioned in Catalina articles pinned into Our Picks section. I suggest you consult our existing guides for Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake Latitude laptops in our Guides section to begin with.

Let's stick to Clover... Post a zipped copy of your Clover EFI folder. And give us details of your BIOS settings. GT730 will have to be a Kepler model, not Fermi. And, obviously, the Intel wireless/BT card won't be supported.

-> moved to support section. Guides section is for guides only as clearly stipulated! Please make every effort to post in the correct section. Thank you.

Seen your above edit re: ping tests. Why don't you take an IOReg before and after wake so that we try and compare things in the wireless front?

You know the simplest way to check is to open up the laptop. Just remove the back/bottom cover and look at the wireless card near the fan! Model is usually written on the label.

12 to nearly 110ms! That's a hell of a jitter on the local wireless network. At a distance of 10ft and on a 5GHz network, you should be within 5ms unless your network is saturated with traffic of course. So, yes, definitely an issue with your laptop settings on Wake.

It's quite normal that a much increased latency reduces overall bit rate. If latency is beyond your Box/router, there's nothing you can do about it. Most likely, it's on your own wireless connection. If you're on a 5GHz network, distance and obstructions (walls) affect performance quite sensibly. But I believe you'll still suffer without DFS being available on your connection. https://netbeez.net/blog/dfs-channels-wifi/ All in all, it's not really a Hackintosh issue per sé. You could run batches of ping tests to your local router to see how that behaves. Typically, all should be within 5ms. What are your current settings? Did you experiment as I had previously suggested?

Check your BIOS settings, make sure disk mode is not set to RAID.

When you boot the USB installer and reach the Catalina installation screen, do not initialize your disk as an APFS drive. Instead, format your target partition as HFS+ (Journaled) and ensure you've used the GUID partition scheme of course. Your drive/partition will automatically get converted to APFS volume during Catalina's installation.

Yes, but no DFS; if you use AirportBrcmFixup, you may want to experiment with -brcmfx-country=#a boot arg... Or without the kext (and its boot arg of course!).

Native support for the card has nothing to do with your reported observation. You do what I've just posted!

The driver, no. Some boot parameters for add-on wireless driver such as AirportBrcmFixup, possibly. Then rates really depend on your card and the network/channel you connect on (2.4GHz/5GHz). The IOReg you provided in your previous XPS9350 thread reveals wireless card with PCI id 14e4:43ba, i.e. a card based on Broadcom BCM43602 chipset such as a DW1830. That card is 802.11ac so capable of great speeds on a 5GHz network within the right surrounding conditions of course. Press [Opt] key whilst clicking on the Wireless icon of your Finder's bar and you'll see the connection settings for your network. You want to see DFS, 5GHz and 40MHz/80MHz values... If you don't check your boot parameters and experiment with them (see AirportBrcmFixup kext documentation). You may also check your wireless box/router settings and adjust of necessary.

No impact.

Just follow the usual process... make up your list of detailed hardware specs create a bog standard Clover config for a standard Haswell desktop computer with standard HD4600 iGPU fine-tune after basic installation Good luck.

Some of you may remember Sinetek's initial work back at the beginning of 2017 on the development of a macOS driver for those PCIe Realtek RTS card readers fitted to many of our laptops. Whilst Sinetek's work never fully completed and only reached limited success, Cholonam recently resumed development work for the RTS525a card reader of his Dell XPS 9350. This resulted in great success in the sense that we now have a working driver for several RTS card readers, albeit with some limitations in respect of performance or supported hardware models. The driver is available off Cholonam's Github repo. Discussion on this new driver is available in continuation of Sinetek's original topic at insanelymac. We've also reported on development progress of this kext in this thread where we invite owners of Hackintosh laptops fitted with Realtek RTS card readers to feedback their own test results. Credits and thanks to Cholonam and Sinetek of course! View full article

New version v2.2 released today with bug fixes.

Check your hibernation status and, if required, disable it as per our FAQ topic on the matter.

IOGraphicsFamily patch that used to fix the Apple logo glitch at boot time is normally irrelevant and deprecated with Lilu + WEG.

All those you cache, yes.

@Tubardus, try again with boot args: bpr_handshake=0 bpr_presetdelay=250 On the other topic, yes you may load with your cached kexts (from /L/E) and inject kexts from /E/C/k/O if you set kexts injection to "Yes" in your Clover config.

Try again to cache the 3 x kexts I had uploaded a couple of days ago, but this time, add the following boot argument to your Clover config: bpr_handshake=0

It used to with the PS2 controller used on old D Series Hackintosh. You could try and compare the settings of the Info.plist files of the PlugIns of both set of kexts.
