[SOLVED] Wi-Fi not working, even though I'm connected

I've been troubleshooting this for a while now, but can't seem to fix it.
I am 100% confident I'm connected.
Output of

ping google.com

ping: google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution

Output of

ping 1.1.1.1

ping: connect: Network is unreachable

This is what my resolv.conf is:

# Resolver configuration file.
# See resolv.conf(5) for details.
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8

Will give more info if asked!

What do you base this on?

First, how about you describe how you connect and what networking tools you're using.

Then also include the output from `ip a` to start.

Re: [SOLVED] Wi-Fi not working, even though I'm connected

What do you base this on?

Based on when I run

iwctl station wlan0 get-networks

it shows the network I'm connected to as selected, and when connecting it shows no errors.

First, how about you describe how you connect and what networking tools you're using.

As implied above, I use iwd to connect. I connect with iwctl station wlan0 connect (my ssid), then entering my password

Then also include the output from `ip a` to start.

Here you go:

[root@iusearchbtw ~]# ip a
1:10: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_1ft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: wlane: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 38:87:45:7d:a8:89 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet6 fe80::3a87:d5ff:fe7d: a889/64 scope link proto kernel_11
valid_lft forever preferred_1ft forever

I used OCR for this with a somewhat unclear image, sorry for any inaccuracies ^^

Don't. Rather post pictures.

You've a carrier, but no lease.
Assuming that's meant to read "wlan0", you're probably using iwd and can simply use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd#En … figuration
[edit, you actually menitioned that ]
In doubt please post the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f
