Other WiFI 6 under Mavericks?

This is probably not going to happen I'm afraid. Wifi 6 came out in 2019, and writing 3rd party Wifi drivers is notoriously difficult according to Hackintosh developers.
However, WiFi 5 (802.11ac) is pretty well supported. That works with 5 Ghz Wifi networks and can achieve speeds in the hundreds of megabits (or even multiple gigabits in theory, but that may be difficult in real-world use). I'm admittedly not sure if there are any USB Wifi 5 devices, however. USB Wifi on macOS is not great in general; again, Hackintosh people have experience with this.
What Mac do you use, and what are you hoping to accomplish here?
