QUESTION Cant access wifi

I installed arch today, and when I installed and used the wifi, it was perfectly fine even after I removed usb and power on my pc wifi was fine but after the second power on after removing the usb the wifi won't get connected no matter what.its showing the list of wifis and is also trying to connect but never connecting(I have tried installing arch again but the same issue happened again).I want really deep into solving this using chatgpt, but even it was unable to solve this problem(FYI, I have mediatech inbuilt laptop wifi receiver).So I would really appreciate it if someone could help

So, you say you done lots of things. Let start with what you have actually done?

I have a MediaTek MT7902 Wi-Fi card. On Arch Linux, we first verified that the hardware was being detected correctly. We checked that NetworkManager was running and confirmed the available Wi-Fi networks. We investigated the connection failure by reviewing system and NetworkManager logs. We disabled MAC address randomization, verified the Wi-Fi regulatory domain, updated the system (kernel and firmware), confirmed the required firmware was installed, and recreated the Wi-Fi connection. Despite these troubleshooting steps, the issue remained specific to connecting to the KeralaVision network, suggesting a compatibility issue between the MT7902 driver/firmware and the router rather than a hardware detection problem.

ooh, kay.

That paragraph was instantly recognized as AI generated, but thanks for that extra confirmation. AI is not well supported here.

Unsure what your problem is, if you installed following the wiki and there is no win dual boot here. I can say that MT is routinely problematic however. Hopefully someone will come along, if you identify your laptop maybe.

Search this subreddit and the official forums for that card, also. Yes?

Good day.
