Is the Mini a VOX (A95) or TiVo Mini LUX, and the latest version of the TiVo software. (TE4)?

You could try first installing the Mini VOX in a location where it can be Ethernet-connected to your network, to speed it through software updates and to make sure that it is on the same software version as your DVR -- which needs to be 21.* for the new TiVo WiFi 5 adapter to work.
OMGosh It worked this was mush earlier than I thought, thank you for your help, I brought it downstairs and hooked it up directly to the ethernet cable I downloaded everything then after I was all done then I disconnected the ethernet cable and then installed the wireless adapter and it worked beautifully thank you so much for your help

Great to hear. Nice (and increasingly surprising) when things work as expected.

I was curious to see what the WIFI 5 Adapter was and I happened to come across the installation instructions and they are exactly as you described.:)

If you are setting up a new TiVo Mini VOX (A95) or TiVo Mini LUX

If you have a wired connection (Ethernet or MoCA) near the TiVo Mini VOX (A95) or TiVo Mini LUX and television, connect the TiVo Mini VOX (A95) and TiVo Mini LUX and complete Guided Setup before setting up the wireless adapter.
