please also post full inxi -Fnxxxz
So turn wifi off
close the lid for 15 seconds
open back up and try wifi again

This worked! Can finally see surrounding WiFi networks. Back at the "setting network address" loop

Issue these commands one after the other with a few seconds between each command:
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager sudo ip link set wlp3s0 down sudo modprobe -r acer_wireless ath10k_core ath10k_pci dell_wmi_descriptorThen issue:
sudo modprobe ath10k_core ath10k_pci sudo ip link set wlp3s0 up sudo systemctl start NetworkManagerBe sure to post the input and output of each command issued.
for the first set of commands
modprobe: FATAL: Module ath10k_core is in use.
issued all the commands .
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ sudo ip link set wlp3s0 down
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ sudo modprobe -r acer_wireless ath10k_core ath10k_pci dell_wmi_descriptor
modprobe: FATAL: Module ath10k_core is in use.
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ sudo modprobe ath10k_core ath10k_pci
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ sudo ip link set wlp3s0 up
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ sudo systemctl start NetworkManager
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ ```ok remove it from the list and try again
didnt get you . Remove which one of the commands . The third one ?
ath10k_core
so i will do this ?
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager
sudo ip link set wlp3s0 down
sudo modprobe -r acer_wireless ath10k_core ath10k_pci dell_wmi_descriptor
sudo modprobe ath10k_pci
sudo ip link set wlp3s0 up
sudo systemctl start NetworkManager
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager
sudo ip link set wlp3s0 down
sudo modprobe -r acer_wireless ath10k_pci dell_wmi_descriptor
sudo modprobe ath10k_pci
sudo ip link set wlp3s0 up
sudo systemctl start NetworkManager
the output from the modified commands
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ sudo ip link set wlp3s0 down
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ sudo modprobe -r acer_wireless ath10k_pci dell_wmi_descriptor
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ sudo modprobe ath10k_pci
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ sudo ip link set wlp3s0 up
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ sudo systemctl start NetworkManager```ok good, and are you able to connect? if not then rfkill unblock all and try again
no luck 
, tried rfkill unblock all too. The same setting network address loop . If it helps , i tried using manjaro architect afterwards and using it to connect it said Could not activate connection: Activation failed: IP configuration could not be reserved (no available address, timeout, etc.)
can you post this again
lsmod | grep 'ath\|acer'
also just to be sure, you have not rebooted right?
Nope no reboots since we started .
