Hoping the Mac community can help me. I recently installed the OSX Wifi/BT 4.0 upgrade in my 2010 Mac Pro (5,1). The BT stopped working after I upgraded to Sanoma 14.1.1. Good news, Blue tooth is now working great. Although they post detailed install instructions @ osxwifi.com/install they failed to list the order you should plug in the antennas onto the adapter.

I tried at first plugging them in 1 on pin closest to top of case, (next is BT connector) then 2 after that and 3 on pin closest to the bottom of the case. That got BT working but no Wif. I then found a YouTube video and he suggests swapping 1 and 2 (so cable 2 at the top then BT and then cable 1 after it with 3 remaining at bottom) Still no Wifi. I did try running the OCLP root patches again with no affect.

Anyone have any suggests for me? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just installed a new BroadCom BT/WIfi Card, BT is working, Wifi is on but i can't see any networks to connect.
Could this be an antenna issue ??
Install of the Antenna are from top to bottom 3 1 BT 2. this my 2nd install. my first went flawless using the same antenna hook up order.
reset NVRAM and did a OCLP rebuild.
screen shows the module is installed correctly

please advise ....
