Hi Anthony973,
Congratulations on your new Mac mini! We'd love to help get this resolved so you can enjoy using it. It sounds like this error may be related to your connection. Let's try following the steps we've listed below to make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi, and continue getting set up without issue.
Start here
- "Connect to a Wi-Fi network: Choose the network and enter a password, if necessary. (If youʼre using Ethernet, you can also choose Other Network Options.) To change the network later, click the Wi-Fi status icon in the menu bar, or in System Settings, click Wi-Fi in the sidebar, then choose a network and enter the password. You can also choose to turn Wi-Fi on or off here.
- Tip: After setup, if you don’t see the Wi-Fi status icon in the menu bar, you can add it. Open System Settings, click Control Center in the sidebar, then select “Show in Menu Bar” for Wi-Fi."
Once you're connected, continue with the steps referenced above here: Set up your Mac mini - Apple Support
If this does not resolve the issue, please provide additional details as to what you're attempting to do when you're getting the error, or where setup is failing. We'll be happy to help out!
Cheers!
