Hey thanks for your report! Can you open a Terminal and check if the network settings plugin is installed with the following command? It will ask for a password but no changes will be made.
and then try to open system settings from Terminal with this command:

jonolumb@Tuxedo:
$ sudo apt-cache policy io.elementary.settings.networkubuntu8.1io.elementary.settings.network:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 8.1.0+r1600+pkg857
Version table:
8.1.0+r1600+pkg857~ubuntu8.1 500

I then ran, the following, which of course solved things:
sudo apt install io.elementary.settings.network
A mystery as to why it was removed - I can only imagine it was an apt autoremove operation I did, or it was perhaps uninstalled during the resolution of some package conflicts?
Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the package name!
