I just ran an “UpgradeInTerminal” and afterwords my Wifi could not connect. Even retyping the wifi password didn’t work. This was tested on multiple APs. Luckily I had snapper with snap-pac running so I could roll back.
Any help would be appreciated?

I had the same problem (no wifi) when I upgraded the Linux kernel to 6.2.5. I used Timeshift to go back to a prior version of the kernel (6.2.1) and then when I upgraded (using yay in a Terminal) the update took me to 6.2.2 and wifi is still working.
There is this post warning about the 6.2.5 kernel:
https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/heads-up-on-latest-kernel-update-6-2-5-arch1-1/38399/2
Well there is a newer kernel and headers plus networkmanager-qt, modemmanager-qt. Those would be the likely suspects.
I tried running yay -Syu again and it still brought me to 6.2.5 and still not wifi. So I restored back to pre- snapshot.
My wifi is a broadcom in a Macbook Pro 8.1 so maybe there’s something there?

Now I’m very confused. I installed the linux-lts kernel and headers. I’m back to my no wifi with 6.1.18. However, when I selected the Advanced grub tab and installed standard linux kernel, it came up with 6.2.2 which does work???
So linux LTS 6.1.18 doesn’t work, but 6.2.2 does???
The standard 6.2.x kernel seems to be a bit unstable (it’s very new). We are seeing a few issues around the forums after upgrading the kernel. So, it seems better to use the LTS kernel if you don’t have bleeding edge need of the new kernel.

I had the issue as @jfabernathy when I updated last night . There was a suggestion to switch to LTS or to downgrade. I ended up downgrading back to standard kernel 6.2.2-arch2-1 and my WIFI is working again. I did however install the LTS 6.1.18 today just to have it as an option as well since that was suggested to me last night and it was referenced in the the warning post this morning about some folks having issues with the new kernel. I did hop on to the LTS kernel to see what it was like and I had the same WIFI issue I had on standard kernel 6.2.5-arch1-1. I am also running on an old Macbook Pro. I thought it was strange. So I am still using the standard kernel and I am going to have to try and do a little more digging on this WIFI issue. Just thought I would mention this here in case others have the same issue
I tried installing LTS but I still had the wifi issue. I rolled backed to the last upgrade yesterday which was firefox and eos-bash-shared. So I’m stable for now. I’m not touching anything for a week.

Just updated my MacbookPro8,1 from kernel 6.2.2 to 6.2.6 and the wifi now works. This MB has Broadcom-wl wifi and Intel graphics.
This whole episode has reminded me how important it is to be using BTRFS, snapper, snap-pac, grub-btrfs, and btrfs-assistant. Getting out of the bad upgrade took a couple of clicks in btrfs-assistant.
EDIT: BTW, I use the wifi package:
broadcom-wl-dkms 6.30.223.271-36
