WiFi doesn't automatically connect upon boot

But it attempts to connect. When I login, it attempts to connect, but fails. I have to manually connect to it for it to work, but it's not that simple either. While it is connecting, I have to click disconnect then connect. If I just click connect then it will fail. In case that didn't make sense, this is the only thing I can do to connect to my WiFi network (yes, the SSID is "Your mother", don't ask): https://imgur.com/a/P5IPQKr

I am not sure what logs (if any) or anything else that would be useful to provide, but here are my systemctl statuses for NetworkManager and netcl:

If I need to provide anything else, I will be glad to do so. Thank you

Re: WiFi doesn't automatically connect upon boot

Why do you have NetworkManager and netctl enabled?

Read the note in the blue box...

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

My bad, I didn't realize that you weren't supposed to do that. I enabled netctl to see if I could have it automatically connect to my network, since Network Manager wasn't working. It clearly didn't work haha. I will disable it, thank you for letting me know.
