[SOLVED] No Wifi after update

I updated my system today and it installed some xf86 packages, then I fall asleep for 20 minutes and when I woke up there was no WiFi, I rebooted and updated again, and there was some nm-applet packages to install, I did it and I was able to connect to the WiFi but I wasn't able to load any website or connect to any server, so I checked the dhcp service and this is what i found:

systemctl enable dhcpd
---------------------------------------
Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory 

I tried to install the dhcpd package but pacman says it doesn't exist, ad also pacman says it is installed

 local/dhcpcd 6.8.1-1 (base)
    RFC2131 compliant DHCP client daemon 

so I don't know how to enable it again.

Re: [SOLVED] No Wifi after update

You have typo in your systemctl command. The name of the service is 'dhcpcd', not 'dhcpd'

Re: [SOLVED] No Wifi after update

yeah, both of you were right, it was a typo.

So I  used the dhcpcd and got this:

systemctl status dhcpcd
---------------------------------------------------------
● dhcpcd.service - dhcpcd on all interfaces
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

WiFi still won't work although it appears as connected to it. How can I diagnose what's going wrong? or is this info relevant to detect the problem?

Re: [SOLVED] No Wifi after update

I will mark this thread as solved, I rebooted my modem and WiFi started working again. just for curiosity if anybody has a theory of why this happened it would be great.
