Before using the Airport Utility to configure your network you must select your network under the Airport icon. If it is not there then what to do? go to system preferences/network/status and select Airport. Find the preferred pane and if your network is there select it and hit apply. Then select the network under the Airport icon then use the Airport Utility. If it is not there you have two options: either type in your network name or use the + button to 'find' your network. No you are not the only one with the problem. People just find way around the problem or they just give up.
If your mini has neither an Airport card nor a Bluetooth board, you can simply lift the optical drive up and away. Otherwise, you need to disconnect the Airport and/or Bluetooth antenna cables first. With your free hand, pull the Bluetooth cable up from Bluetooth board and unplug the Airport antenna cable from the right of the Airport card.
