The following information comes from Sonnet's website.
The steel mounting case effectively shields the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antenna from effective use, and, in fact, YOU MUST TURN OFF wi-fi in the xMac mini Server TB3 edition or it may intefere with Thunderbolt functionality.
For Wi-Fi, some customers have used the Edimax EW-7822ULC external USB 2.0 wi-fi adapter; or the Edimax EW-7822UTC or Edimax EW-7822UAC external USB 3.0 wi-fi adapters.
For Blutooth, some customers have used the Startech USBBT1EDR4 Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter.
