Works great so far on Toshiba Satellite P755 series - Instructions on chip install included

ByJacobon February 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

Hello,

Hoping this review helps anyone who is looking to purchase this chip as a replacement in their laptop.

I own a Toshiba Satellite P755-S5120 laptop that originally came w/ an Intel Centrino 6150 Wireless N + Wimax chipset. As far as I know, my computer doesn't contain the mentioned "whitelist" that blocks certain hardware pieces from being interchanged on the laptop (as far as wireless cards are concerned). I know this because I'm writing this review w/ the new Broadcom Azurewave chipset installed in my computer and haven't had any issues yet (hence my 4-star rating). I also searched through my bios and found nothing about a whitelist in there... Maybe it's hidden but I didn't see anything that hinted at it.

Before my purchase I was looking at two replacement cards, one being the Intel Centrino 7260 w/ 5Ghz capability and the Broadcom Azurewave BCM4352 . I recently purchased an Asus router (AC1750) and found that my wireless would occasionally cutout on my laptop, but all of my other electronics would be fine (also the 2.4Ghz speed wasn't the fastest), so I decided to upgrade. I'm still not sure why my laptop wireless card would constantly dropout, perhaps it was the router or too many people on the 2.4Ghz band in my cramped complex, but my girlfriend has a Mac that runs fine on the router, and with everything else working on it I could only isolate it to the wireless card on my laptop.

I read multiple reviews on both Intel and broadcom chips and decided to go w/ the azurewave. Multiple reviews mentioned they actually tried out both and found the Azurewave to install easier (I saw someone install on a Toshiba which appealed to me) and perform faster across longer range. I live in a tiny apartment so range isn't a concern but if I can get added performance why not. Here were the steps I followed the install the card and so far everything is working great! No wireless dropouts yet.

1. Make sure the card is compatible w/ your laptop/computer. You can easily do this by typing in your laptop model in google and searching images for "laptop xxx wireless card". I did Toshiba satellite P755-S5120 wireless card in google images and even found a video on youtube that told me how to take out the old card and install a new one which is very simple if you have the right tools.

2. Manually download the drivers for the old chipset so you can revert back in case the new card doesn't work... Probably overlooked w/ some approaches but can save you some time in the long run.

3. Look for drivers w/ the new chip before installing. This way when you pop the card in you can boot up, install the drivers and you're good to go. If you have the ability to wire into a router, that will work too. I just googled "windows 7 driver for Broadcom BCM4352" and a support page from lenovo came up w/ the correct file for Windows7.

4. Now that you have the new chip in your hands, manually uninstall the old drivers for your current wireless card. You will lose internet (unless hardwired in) so this is why steps 2-3 are important. I read on another review that performing this step seemed to help w/ installation on the new card so I did it and it worked... Possibly could have worked w/ not uninstalling but I cannot comment on that.

5. With old drivers uninstalled, follow a video or instructions of removing the old card from your laptop and pop the new one in. Make sure you store the old card in a safe place in case you must revert back.

6. Pop the new one in, install the new broadcom drivers per your OS/computer. The drivers I got for Windows7 came right up, installed in about 2-3 min, asked for a reboot and now I'm on my 5Ghz channel with no problems.

Hope this review helps! Enjoy!

Works, but some facts you need to know

ByBrandonon October 22, 2014

Verified Purchase

If you are short of time, you can jump to the end of review.

This is a Broadcom combo module that includes Broadcom 4352 as the WiFi module, and Broadcom 20702A3 as the bluetooth module. Broadcom 4352 is connected to PCI-E interface, while Broadcom 20702A3 is connected to USB bus. This might sound counter-intuitive to you, but the fact is that some machine provides USB bus on the Mini PCI-E interface. You have to determine whether your machine supports that by yourself. For example, Intel NUC box does NOT provide USB interface thru its Mini PCI-E. If you are looking for an integrated solution for a desktop, do look for a Mini PCI-E to PCI-E adapter WITH USB CONNECTOR. You will need to connect the USB connector to your mother board. If your mother board has only 1 USB connector, and its already occupied by the front panel, think twice before you buy.

Regarding Mac OS X, this module does NOT work OOB. Mac OS X tries to drive the WiFi module with 43224 kext, but it will only crash Mac OS X kernel. You will have to remove 43224 kext and inject device code to 4360 kext to make it work. Before 10.9 (inclusive), 4360 kext can be binary-modified to support 5GHz with this module, but this method does not work for Yosemite. Before a new binary patch is available, this module will only work on 2.4GHz channels with Yosemite. For the bluetooth side, it works OOB, but it will not support Yosemite's handoff feature. This bluetooth module is Broadcom 20702A3, the one that supports handoff is 20702B0. They are similar, but Mac OS X needs certainty, not similarity! You might find some luck extracting EFI string and modify that to fool Mac OS X to think it as 20702A3, but I would not think that is straightforward, and I'm too lazy to give a single try.

In short (for those who skipped the above bulky), this device requires a USB bus provided thru Mini PCI-E to make bluetooth work, it supports Mac OS X with some effort and WiFi only works on 2.4GHz channel for Yosemite, it does not support Yosemite's handoff feature.

This missing star is for the missing USB bus requirement in the description page.

UPDATE:
I'm updating my review since my NUC magically got the bluetooth. I have no idea what happened.
And, a binary hack has been found to enable handoff of OS X. In short, you need to do the following steps to get WiFi, Bluetooth (w/ handoff support) to work under Mac OS X.
1. Make sure you don't install it at the beginning.
2. Install OS X, install clover, AND REMOVE the 943224 driver under IO80211Family.kext. (Yes, it's ugly. We should compose some disabler kext to give a probe score higher than 943224 driver but lower than 94260 driver)
3. You need to do a plist hack to get WiFi driven.
4. You need to use a kext called BluetoothFirmwareUploader to get bluetooth driven.
5. You need to do a binary hack to get 5GHz support.
6. Yet another binary hack to get handoff support of the bluetooth.
7. Each time you wanna update OS X (e.g. 10.10 to 10.10.1), you need to download the dmg, because you gotta delete 943224 driver before restart. Kernel panic otherwise.

Well, as you see, this is not at all straightforward. For those binary hacks, please search for "Yosemite BCM94352" on Google.

Works great, with some work

Bytimbck2on June 14, 2014

I bought this card to have an internal solution for 802.11ac Wifi and Bluetooth 4.0 in my Hackintosh. It took a lot of effort to get both the Wifi and the Bluetooth working with Mac OS X, and the Bluetooth is still a bit flakey, but it works quite well most of the time. Word to the wise: If you need Bluetooth to work, you need to know that the Bluetooth on this card actually connects via USB. So if you're buying it to use in a desktop system that needs a Mini PCIe -> PCIe adapter card, or you're buying it for a notebook or a desktop system with an on-board Mini PCIe slot, you need to make sure that either the PCIe adapter card or the Mini PCIe slot supports USB; not all do. The PCIe adapter I bought is this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DV582R4, and while a little more expensive than a lot of the adapter cards out there, I can confirm that it has USB support - even comes with a cable to connect to a USB header on your motherboard - and is of better quality than a lot of the cheaper ones.

Card works fine to achieve full AC Speeds. Connects at 800+Mbps with wireless showing the full speed from the provider

ByASadanion April 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

I got this card in replacement of the Intel Network 7260.HMWG WiFi Wireless-AC 7260. The Intel 7260 AC has a problem where the wireles is in limited mode on wakeup from Sleep. Intel has tried to fix the problem for a long time but haven't been able to. This card works well. I do get connected to over 800 Mbps when on Wifi. Bluetooth works well.

On Windows 8.1, the wireless driver gets auto detected. The bluetooth needs a manual driver and after the purchase of the wireless card, I received an email from the Amazon seller with the driver link which worked perfectly fine.
