[SOLVED] intel wireless-ac 7265 lost stable connection to network

hello. I just updated arch linux about a week ago and since then, I seem to be having issues with a connection to my wifi network going in and out only on a specific network and on arch linux. the computer is dual boot so I can boot into windows and connect to that network just fine. similarly, I'm currently booted into arch linux but on my phone's hotspot.  I have networkmanager and tried to use iwd as my backend, but doing that made the wifi not turn on at all.  I also tried removing and re-adding the network connection using nmcli to no avail.

Before last week, I've been able to connect to this network just fine. I'm not sure if this is related to the updating, but I have a hunch that it is.

I tried running netctl as well but that won't connect at all using wifi-menu although I can add wifi connections.

running lspci -k gives me this:

01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 3b)
	Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265
	Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
	Kernel modules: iwlwifi

edit: I just tried to use iwd again with networkmanager and it's working just fine now.
