iwctl can't connect to the internet

Hi, I'm having trouble with iwctl, when I connect to a network, it said that I have connected with the indicator icon ">" but I can't ping and nmcli also said that wlan0 is disconnected. Anyone know how to solve it?

Re: iwctl can't connect to the internet

Do you have anything set up to configure the network, beyond just making the connection? Why are you using nmcli at all if you're using iwctl? You can't be using both at the same time.

I saw iwctl fail so I was recommended by someone to use nmcli but I just found out that NetworkManager is now installed so it could not the nmcli fault, and I just installed the fresh new system so I haven't configured anything

Re: iwctl can't connect to the internet

iwd, by default, will make the connection and nothing more. You need something to set up IP, routing, and DNS. There'a non-default option for iwd, or you can use something else for that.

Why reinstall if your problem is just network configuration? You will still need to configure it if you reinstall so you're faced with the same issue.
