`Network Manager` GUI Missing in Ubuntu 18.04

If I go to Settings > Network I think I'm supposed to be able to select my Wifi Network manager by clicking the gear icon. Shown below to the right of "1000 Mb/s On/Off".
But my Wireless connection doesn't show up at all on this GUI dialog shown above. I can only see the VPN box and the Network Proxy box. The Wired box is completely missing (in my case it's actually a wireless connection).
I need to get to the network manager, so I can access all the settings below.

Look over at "Wifi" in the left column. Wifi gets put in its own management category now. Alternatively, usenm-connection-editor- the old school original network manager connection editor that everyone using Ubuntu 16.04 (and not GNOME) will remember.

not in front of my Ubuntu box right now, but I think I tried that and there was no gear there or when I clicked on the gear it didn't bring me to Network manager. Of course I'll have to try later when I'm in front of the machine. Thanks for the tip.

the gear is actually lthe hamburger menu and then "Known Wifi Networks". Alternatively,nm-connection-editorwill list the wifi configs as well.

Maybe you've disabled the WiFi network, either by using some keyboard buttons or from the system menu (top right on the panel)?

I didn't know I had to use the hamburger menu. There's actually no gear there in theSettings > Wifi. Unfortunately there's lacking consistency betweenSettings > NetworkandSettings > Wifiat this point in time.
