Hello everyone! Today I am going to share a wifi kext patcher based on LILU for enabling unsupported Wi-Fi cards in macOS. The kext is basically a plugin for Lilu.kext so you need to have that installed in order for it to work. EDIT: Credits go to Chunnann at InsanelyMac as he was the one who first offered drivers for those cards and the kext here is also forked from his repo. Changes I have done:-.
Oct 07, 2017 Use this tricks if Clover or DSDT method doesn't work!!
Add support for Lilu Plugin 1.2.0. Updated Injector kext to match Plugin version You can always have the latest version from the releases tab on the kext's github page. Please keep in mind that you need to use compatible version of Lilu along with this kext else it may cause kernel panics.
If you do not know what the slots in the computer are I would opt for a USB based device just to avoid buy the wrong stuff. I would also buy a cheap USB extension cable if you do not buy a device that already has a cable since you can then place the adapter on top of the computer where it will get better signal if needed.
I would check to ensure the cables from your current adapter to the external antenna are good and your antenna is not blocked by the wall or something. This tends to be why even internal PCI cards perform poorly if you stuff the computer under a table against a wall.
