[SOLVED]Cannot connect to internet during installation

Greetings everyone!! I am new to Arch Linux and currently doing my first install. However I can't connect my laptop to the internet through ethernet and am unable to proceed. I have tried several tutorials on the internet but am unsuccessful. I was once successful by assigning a static IP and assigning an IP route but I unfortunately had to restart the modem and now the same method is not working again.

Don't use random tutorials. The authoritative installation guide is in the Arch Wiki. Apparently you have not configured your network. There are different options, described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … figuration.

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot connect to internet during installation

Thanks for the quick reply.
The tutorials I mentioned were mainly from Unix  stackexchange, reddit: arch Linux, and arch forums.
I have also tried a lot of the things from the link you have provided but still cannot connect to the internet.

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot connect to internet during installation

What is the VID:PID of the NIC and what driver is it using:

lspci -nnk
...
05:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation I211 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1539] (rev 03)
	Kernel driver in use: igb
	Kernel modules: igb

In the above output the VID:PID is 8086:1539 and the driveris igb.

The output you posted contains:

2: enp1s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

You set the link up but there is no cable attached?

My VID:PID is 1969:2062 and driver is atl1c.

I am sorry about that the wire was a bit loosen. Now it is attached properly and it shows fq_code1 and no mq. State is also UP

Does assigning a static IP address and route work now?  If not please post the commands you are using and their outputs.

Still not working

Edit:
It's working now. Instead of

 IP route add 192.168.1.34 via 192.168.1.1 dev enp1s0

I tried:

 IP route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev enp1s0

Saw someone doing this in Unix stackexchange forums
I am so happy rn can continue with the installation.
Thanks for your help.
