Looking at some of the other posts here I probably just have the wrong driver installed. The default was not allowing me to search for wi-fi networks, and neither did the rtl88x2bu-dkms-git package via pamac.
Hopefully helpful and relevant info:

I just installed the r8168-dkms and I’ll try restarting to see if that works. Thank you so much for your help!
