How to install a genuine MacBook WLAN card on any laptop (BCM94360CS2 on T460s)

I decided to go for a genuine WLAN card used in Apple's computer because it works plug-and-play on any Hackintosh.

A list of other compatible cards can be found here

Parts and tools required

• BCM94360CS2 ($10 used)

• BCM94360CS2 (M.2) to NGFF adapter ($5 new)

• Phillips screwdriver

Installation

0. Open BIOS Setup and turn off internal batteries Config -> Power -> Disable Built-in Battery Enter

1. Open the back plate

2. Disconnect antennas cables

3. Remove the original WLAN card

4. (optional) Cut adapter corner and widen screw hole as shown to save 1mm in height

5. Insert the adapter on the board

6. Install BCM94360CS2

7. Connect antennas cables (as shown)

8. Close the back plate and enjoy your wireless life

The bottom line

That's a small issue for a laptop,

Due to adapter's height the back plate will have a small bump, resulting in a (very) small gap on the laptop's right bottom side

One giant leap for your life
