Missing wifi network menu icon

[Ron Fiedler]

I am not a computer guru by any means but I usually don't dismiss items by error. I installed linux lite about a year ago and mostly use it with my home wifi network but sometimes I take it away from the house and want to log on to other wifi systems (such as a hotel) and when I attempted to do so last week I found  the wifi menu listing that used to be in the lower right corner along with the speaker volume icons to be missing.
I can do without the volume control but would like to find the wifi icon and put it back where it belongs. Does anyone have an answer for me? I am not literate enough to write code.
Thanks
Ron

Right click on the Taskbar, Panel, Add new items, add the Indicator plugin.

I tried this but, instead of making the wifi icon appear in the panel, I just get the icons for bluetooth & volume duplicated...

It sounds like you need to click on the Network icon and Enable Wi-Fi.

WiFi is already enabled. 
When you say 'network icon' and I say 'wifi icon',  aren't we talking about the same thing, just different words ? When I say 'wifi icon' I mean the one that is located by default on the right hand side of the panel (next to the 'sound settings icon'), and has 4 vertical bars, arranged in increasing height from left to right which can also represent relative signal strength as  the number of bars that are greyed out or not...

After a day of being absent, 'WiFi icon' reappeared when I booted up this morning ...

I have the same problem since 2 days ago - immediately after moving the calculator icon the wifi icon disappeared. Sound icon is still there.

I tried:

re-bootings
Timeshift to last snapshot
added Indicator plug-in

Thanks.
