Internet stopped working after update

Hello, i have been on cachyos for a few days. and its been awesome. i did an update i think and the internet stopped showing up in the networks box, just saying unknown. im using usb tethering atm.

Show the outputs of

systemctl status systemd-networkd

and

ip a

Also, can you use the network using the same machine/cable/router through the live USB or another OS?

I wonder if this is related to

BUT I cannot turn on WiFi in the Networks Plasmoid. Slider switch drags right, then pops left after release. Plasma System Settings shows the AP under “Previously Used, Unavailable” and the Connect choice is greyed-out. Creating a new connection results in the same.

I don’t know what to do to restore WiFi usability, so a pointer or two would help.

cant do another os, but my tv and stuff have internet

What about

sudo systemctl enable --now systemd-networkd

Can you connect now without tethering?

no, same as before with unknown in the network box

Im having similar internet troubles - no matter what i do as per the forums here. Second time. I can connect to main stream sites, etc - but certain sites etc just stop working, cannot connect to my hosting services, nothing. Its getting annoying and I LOVE CachyOS - finally like the distro I have but its affecting my work having to troubleshoot this after an update each time?
