The easiest and fastest solution would be installing networkmanager package when installing arch ( with pacstrap or chrooted). It will setup everything and in my experience is the most reliable.

#

ofc you can use different tools like iwd but atleast on my experience they arent that reliable

Please follow the Standard Litany when asking a question:
• What was your environment? What was your operating system, configuration?
• What did you do? What did you run or test? Where?
• What actually happened? What were the exact results, complete log contents, exact error messages?
• What did you expect? What were you aiming to achieve? What result were you looking for?

Vague or superficial questions will yield vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

oh god 😭 .
Ok basically to edit that file you need to use an editor, the most populars are nano and vim. Choose whichever suits you the best and use it to edit said file.

#

after you choose it, you edit the file with the following command:
sudo nano/vim ( choose one) /etc/resolv.conf
