I would suggest stopping and disabling the netctl service you have
listed above.  Netctl and NetworkManager are both automatic network
management applications.  Having your system bring up a netctl
management connection only to be stopped when you start NetworkManager
is probably what is causing the majority your issues.  Also, enable and
start NetworkManager.service as Thomas suggested, which is the main
systemd service for NetworkManager.

If you open a terminal and run 'nm-connection-editor', this will allow
you to manage your home and library wireless connections.  Check to
ensure that your home wireless connection is configured to connect
automatically.  Thomas suggested right-clicking the nm-applet icon in
your system tray, but different desktop environments sometimes tailor
the network settings GUI to have additional or fewer options than what
is available in NetworkManager, whereas nm-connection-editor is part of
NetworkManager.
