Did you install a full desktop on it?  If so, you should have NetworkManager in some flavor present, if not, highly suggest using that.  It's probably a bit easier to troubleshoot with nmcli and the gui itself.

If you look at logs with journalctl -f while doing so, any logs there point to problems?

Otherwise, maybe just make sure the wlan nic is working doing some basic kismet scans that you're seeing yourself and your neighbors ssid's pop up.  As long as you're seeing traffic, it *should* work.

I connect to the internet ( I guess):

but nothing happens (no WIFI icon). So I unplug the ethernet and restart the computer but still nothing (and no internet as well in case you were wondering). So I ran
[bmike1@HavensARCH ~]$ iwctl
[iwd]# station wlan0 connect NETGEAR48
again but still no internet. So, please, how do I get WIFI going?
