I have a BCM4360 802.11ac model wifi card installed in my computer. I installed the broadcom-wl package to get working drivers.
I have setup the wifi via GNOME’s NetworkManager. I have unbound installed to do DNS lookups (and block certain hosts and send *.localhost to 127.0.0.1).
Thus /etc/resolv.conf specifies 127.0.0.1. I also set dns to none in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
Periodically my internet stops working. I still see a WiFi signal being indicated in top-right menu bar in GNOME. Running nmcli wlan0 is apparently still connected to the WiFi network, but there is no actual conectivity. I can’t even ping 192.168.0.1 succesfully.
A way of getting it to work again, is to turn the WiFi off and on again using the drop-down menu form the top-right of the GNOME display. But this is only temporary.
Anyone any ideas?

Did you check https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless ? I only take a brief look and I think you should use pkg brcm80211 instead.
I remember dealing with this nasty problem a while ago, I may be able to help you if there are bugs while you going down the wiki's path.

Do you experience the same problem with an Arch installation disk? How about before you installed unbound?
I don't use the networkmanager package. Both netctl (wifi-menu) and connman have worked flawlessly for me.

If I blacklist the wl module provided by broadcom-wl, then lspci tells me the kernel driver in use is bcma-pci-bridge. But then nothing relating to my wireless card is visible in the output from `ip link`.
