Network Connection problems

First of all, I'm new to Linux and I'm using Zorin Education Lite.
Can't figure out what these tabs mean: "General", "Wi-Fi Security", "IPvs6 Settings", etc. Where do I go to just enter my Wifi name and password and get connected?
Also, I've seen other guides that uses 'nmcli' and 'ifconfig' commands to connect to Wi-Fi, but when I ran 'nmcli dev status', the only DEVICE that comes up is 'lo'. No 'wlan0'. What do I do now?

I take it this is 12.4? I wonder if it could be a driver issue. Normally most versions of GNU/Linux I have tried on different hardwares with wireless normally get picked up in live mode even before installation. Can you please post back the results from the following command in a Terminal:

Code:: sudo lshw -C network

You will need to enter your login password after you enter this command to elevate you to 'root' (administrator).
