So we are in the part where we have rebooted and have arch successfully on our system (hehe) but it cant connect to the internet. Kinda standard issue but it gets worse.
Using iwd shows the internet, signal strength etc and lets us put in the passcode for it but pinging an ip address or website gives Network is unreachable or temporary failure in name resolution
Using network manager on the other hand shows no networks
(Also ping us when replying so we notice quicker)

It may be that your Wi-Fi card isn’t entirely compatible with the drivers included in the kernel. Plug into Ethernet and then see if you can find a driver for your device.

Weirdly it works in the iso but not in the install

Forgot to say that sorry
west furnace
Did you install linux-firmware?
Go into the ISO and see what driver is being used there, then install that in the main system.

Did you configure dhcp and DNS?

Maybe not

You either use iwd, or network-manager to connect. Not both. But you can set iwd as the backend for network-manager, rather than wpa_supplicant.
So if you have iwd itself running, network-manager may be conflicting with it. Also, you would need to configure network manager as well, if you decide to use it.
What did you actually do to set up internet? We can go from there.
And what do you wish to have? The two options are:
Don't worry, I'm sure it is not cursed :D
If it worked out of the box in the archiso, it should be simple to fix.

Definitely using network manager

When figuring out the issue before, each were disabled while we tried the other one
At least im pretty sure they were
chrome birch
OK. I guess the best way would be to set it up from scratch, if you are not sure you configured network manager correctly.
I personally use iwd only, with its own dhcp and with systemd-resolved for DNS.
Someone else might help with the network manager setup if you need help.
You can also check the journal for errors, possibly giving clues to the specific issue.
journalctl -x -b -p 3
chrome birch
ps -e | grep iwd to check if iwd is running.
I guess you should check archwiki for network manager and make sure it is set up correctly.
fallow plankBOT
Oh I think I see the shenanigans
Doing ip link only shows lo and eno1
Not wlan0
chrome birch
but you said you could connect before?
does rfkill show wlan0 or something similar?
fallow plankBOT
It shows wlan
Well the thing under the device name is psy0 so maybe thats not what im looking for
chrome birch
phy0 is the wifi device; that's correct
fallow plankBOT
Ah alright
fallow plankBOT
Might just reinstall arch and see if that somehow fixes it (probably wont)
Also im guessing theres no way to easily install what comes with the iso

There might be. Doing lspci -v in the ISO should give you the adapter model and current driver. Use that information to find and install a driver.
chrome birch
there is no need to assume there is a firmware / driver issue. still might be, but should set up network manager properly first.
i.e. they were able to connect with iwctl, but not network manager.
west furnace
Oh I missed that whole conversation, sorry.
fallow plankBOT
The device shows and lets me complete stuff, but the internet doesnt actually work

chrome birch
yep. you connected to the wifi, but could not reach the Internet. right?
west furnace
Oh, I see. I completely misunderstood the original issue. Sorry, I’ll leave since I can’t help here.

if you know about network manager, stay :D
because I personally never configured network manager myself.

Neither have I :/. It’s always worked ootb for me.

no DNS / dhcp config?
