I am thinking of getting a fairly base configuration for the Mac Mini 2018 and upgrade the RAM and add an external storage, if needed. 3.2GHz 6‑core 8th‑generation Intel Core i7 (Turbo Boost up to 4.6GHz) 8GB 2666MHz DDR4; Intel UHD Graphics 630; 256GB SSD storage; Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet using RJ-45 connector). Mac mini has some of the most versatile ports and connectivity options of any Mac, allowing it to serve and adapt to a wide variety of situations and workflows. Mac mini comes standard with 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit (1Gb) Ethernet using an RJ-45 connector. For network connections that are up to 10 times faster, Mac mini has a 10Gb Ethernet option. Try a different ethernet cable between the router and Mac Mini. You may have an old Cat5 or bad Cat6 cable. Check your Advanced settings. Go to macOS Sierra: Use Network preferences to set advanced options and in the 'Ethernet hardware settings' section.
