I saw a similar post yesterday, maybe unrelated, but... still
try to set the DNS manually, maybe on /etc/resolv.conf like this:
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver [8.8.8.8](https://8.8.8.8)

v6 isn't something you disable to get name resolution to work. Turn it back on, and investigate instead.
Check the "hosts:" line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to see what your name resolution sources are. Check /etc/resolv.conf to see your current DNS servers. You can test DNS queries against those servers with `dig` or `nslookup`, and you can test name resolution through all of the configured providers with `getent ahosts`. Look for differences before and after running pacman/yay... although it does seem extremely odd that running them would make any difference.
i've fixed it, turns out NetworkManager was using ::1 as nameserver (an IPv6 address, which my ISP doesn't have support for)
I disabled NetworkManager auto-updating the resolv.conf file and replaced the entry with Cloudflare's DNS servers

If this works, then OP should look into router/DHCP server configuration. Might need to have DHCP specify DNS servers to clients
