Local Area Connection is Missing

[Pedro_SD1224]

I got an Ethernet cable and connected it to the router and computer, but I found out that it wasn't working. The computer doesn't even show that it's connected to the Ethernet. I tried restarting my computer, restarting the router, changing the ports but none has worked. Then I came across a solution that requires me to go to the setting "Local Area Connection" but when I go to the place it's supposed to be, it's not there. Not that the setting is disabled, it's just gone. Is there a way to get the setting back?
