Had the same problem with kernel 5.1.2, also using Arch Linux

I had the same problem and this is what works for me :
if you don't specify the kernel version it automatic gets the latest version

git clone https://github.com/smlinux/rtl8723de.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8723de
sudo dkms install rtl8723de/5.1.1.8_21285.20171026_COEX20170111-1414

Solution found on kernel 5.3.8-arch1-1. Just execute the strings below one by one in the terminal window.
git clone -b extended https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
Here remove the Wifi dongle unless you have a wired connection and continue.
sudo dkms add ./rtlwifi_new
sudo dkms install rtlwifi-new/0.6
sudo cp -r rtlwifi_new/firmware/rtlwifi/ /lib/firmware/rtlwifi
echo "options rtl8723de ant_sel=2" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723de.conf
reboot
After rebooting, all works fine. Just find your network and input the password. Enjoy!
