What does it mean when network is unreachable in arch?

Network unreachable means you don’t have a route to the network. If you can’t even ping the local router, either you don’t have an IP address or your network interface is down. netctl is the standard utility for managing network interfaces in Arch. If you haven’t set that (or something else) up, you won’t have any network.
