Can't use IPv4? [SOLVED]

I am brand new to arch and I just installed it. Everything seems to be working fine except for the wifi. When I try to ping an IPv4 address, it says "network is unreachable". When I do it with an IPv6 address, it works. I did `ip address show dev wlan0` and it only shows IPv6 addresses. I tried `ip address add 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0` to add an IPv4 address, but nothing changed. Sory if i haven't provided enough detail, I'm new to this forum.

Hi, and welcome to the forums!
Did you read the wiki pages on how to configure a network:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration ?

Arch's install media utilizes 'iwd' for managing wireless connections, which I'd recommend using.

Thanks! I fixed it by installing dhcpcd and enabling it and iwd to start at boot.
