The network manager was installed by default, and you should see the icon
on your desktop.

Here are a few man pages which are listed in response to "apropos network":

NetworkManager (8)   - network management daemon
NetworkManager.conf (5) - NetworkManager configuration file
networks (5)         - network name information
nm-applet (1)        - network monitor and control GUI applet
nm-connection-editor (1) - network connection editor for NetworkManager
nm-online (1)        - ask NetworkManager whether the network is connected
nm-settings (5)      - Description of settings and properties of
NetworkManager connection profiles

If the manual pages do not provide the answer, a google search on "debian
jessie wifi" turns up several articles.

I generally use ethernet and have litte experience regarding
troubleshooting wifi.
