From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

no need to reinstall, a running system is always fixable, if you need networking try wired ethernet with a usb dongle or a usb wifi adapter or bluetooth/usb tethering to a phone
maybe start by running pacman -Syu again, in case it magically fixes itself.
Check dmesg for wifi related errors
figure out what wifi device you have and what kernel drivers support it
check that the driver module is available, try loading it manually with modprobe
reinstall relevant kernel modules. Hopefully this will fix whatever is wrong.
