[Arch] wifi-menu connecting failed

Hello. New Arch install. Wifi-menu worked without problems during the install but now that I’ve logged onto my newly installed system wifi-menu suddenly isn’t working. It says connecting failed. Why is that?

What DE are you using, and which network service? Netctl or NetworkManager?

he said wifi-menu, so it’s netctl.

also it’s a cli tool, what does DE has to to with this?


OP, give more details about error. dmesg maybe?

Yes I am aware of this

I assumed he probably followed an installation guide and may have got further than a 5 minute install.

I’ve finished the installation using my phone via USB tethering. My router is too far away from my computer.
