Authentication Tab on Local Area Connection

I have a user who unchecked these boxes on his Local Area Connection:

Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network
Authenticate as computer when computer information is available

After reboot this user cannot see the network and the Authentication
tab has disappeared.

How do we get this tab back?

Why did the network connectivity stop?

How do we re-establish connectivity?

Hi

I do not know which kind of Wireless Network your are using.

IEEE 802.1x authentication is Not necessary for regular consumer’s Wireless
Network.

If Windows Zero Configuration disappeared, this might help,
