How come the installation process does not ask me for setting my network?

I remember that when setting windows in a brand new computer, the setup process asked me to configure my network (Wi-Fi, etc).

However, in the tutorials about installing Ubuntu, I don't see that.

I am going to install Ubuntu in a brand new computer in a couple of hours and I want to make sure about that.

If packages from the internet are needed, how come Ubuntu does not ask me to configure the network during installation?

The installer will ask you to connect to the internet if you are not connected with a wired connection. In step 5 from the official Ubuntu installation tutorial we read:

• If you are not connected to the internet, you will be asked to select a wireless network, if available. We advise you to connect during the installation so we can ensure your machine is up to date

The screen that is asking you to connect to the internet with a Wi-Fi connection is similar to this:
