MacBook Pro 802.11ac upgrade

[jim1900dz]

Hi to all.
I read the thread but I'm a little bit confused.
I have the MacBook Pro mid 2012 (non retina)
Which card should I find for that model to have 802.11ac and do i need some adapter?

Hi all,
Hope everyone good.
My MacBook Pro 2012 mid still running fine, currently in macOS ventura.
May I ask what is the best wifi card to get in 2023 to modify to squeeze inside this machine?

Dear Friend— do you still have any of these adapted wi-fi cards for sale? I am using a 2012 15" MacBook Pro 9,1 model (with Mojave no less) that has developed intermittent recognition of the wi-fi card. After it heats up a littte it sees the card, but if I am going deep into its guts to deal with a connection I would just as soon kick up its connection speeds while I'm at it. Many Thanks from Glen....

I still have a 802.11n WLAN card from my early 2013 MBP 15"
But it is 100% stock, nothing modified.
For $10 plus shipping anyone who is interested, can have it.

Update

Sorry guys, I've unfortunately come to realize that the antenna connectors on the cMBP are too large to be used with the new rMBP 802.11ac cards. I feel like I got so close to finishing the project, yet failed. This would've been an excellent Kickstarter. I even spent the time on developing an adapter board. Feel free to chime in.

Hi, @troop231 I registered especially on this forum to ask about gerber file of your project. Or at least some info about AirPort connector pinout and/or name of the connector. Then I think I will manage on my own. I would like to do some similar board for myself but with the m.2 connector. To get rid of that Broadcom wireless once for all. And replace it with AX210 card and be done.

Thanks in advance.

Owww bwoy... 150 bucks for something that costs 3$ to produce? That must be rich people thing when you have money to waste. I do not understand that.
Anyways Mi no rich. But thanks for the offer I guess.
