Have you installed a network manager?

Probably ethernet/WiFi driver missing or NameServer not set up correctly.

Try pinging 8.8.8.8, if it works then it is a nameserver problem.

"Note: In the installation image, systemd-networkd, systemd-resolved, iwd and ModemManager are preconfigured and enabled by default. That will not be the case for the installed system."

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide#Connect_to_the_internet

So you probably didn't set anything up. Arch-chroot in to fix, or use a cable or phone tether to fix it from the new install.

Idk how to set up it with systemd suite, but for network manager it's pretty much

# pacman -S networkmanager
# systemctl enable --now NetworkManager.service

There is no 'real way', BTW
