[SOLVED] Can't connect to wifi

so I changed my modem today. all my devices are connecting fine through wifi (both 2.4 and 5 ghz) except for my arch laptop. I got windows 10 in dualboot and windows is connecting fine. just my arch partition cant connect. I put the password, it connects for a few seconds and crashes, it tries to connect again, it connects for a few seconds and crashes again and keeps this loop forever. I booted with my arch iso install and tried to connect via iwtcl command and the same thing happens, cant connect. Can somebody help me?

Make sure Windows fast boot is disabled.

Other than that, get us a

sudo journalctl -b

from ethernet or phone thether or another computer if must be on reproduction.

Re: [SOLVED] Can't connect to wifi

found a "solution": disabling ipv6 fix it. after reading this I realised arch linux can't setup ipv6 for some unknown reason. Now everything is working. Thanks.
