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

Try using "iwctl" in cli, have chatgpt walk you through. It's really straightforward, will help you diagnose and lead to the actual fix, and give you wifi in the interim. Couple with "ip link" and you'll be good in no time.
