That's why I keep a long Ethernet cable specifically for installing Linux.

By the way, after you cope with the network configuration you will find out the installer of 18.04 doesn't list existing partitions for you to configure: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/subiquity/+bug/1750645

You need to use the older version of the installer aka. "the d-i installer". When I say "older version", it's still an installer for Ubuntu Server 18.04, it just uses the installer framework ("d-i") used by previous versions of Ubuntu. The newer installer framework ("subiquity") is very much a work-in-progress right now.
This information came from comment #5 on bug #1750645, linked in a comment on the question. As it notes, the server download page has a link to alternative downloads, and that has a section further down the page saying:
If you require advanced networking and storage features such as; LVM, RAID, multipath, vlans, bonds, or re-using existing partitions, you will want to continue to use the alternate installer.
...which links to the d-i-based installer downloads.

I also experienced the network bug but after re-partitioning with full formats AND adding EFI space (500MB is what I used), the installation found my wifi and I never saw a single window discussing network connections. I can't explain much of it but the EFI partition as the first one solved my frustration.

I also experienced the network bug but after re-partitioning with full formats AND adding EFI space (500MB is what I used), the installation found my wifi and I never saw a single window discussing network connections. I can't explain much of it but the EFI partition as the first one solved my frustration.
