How to connect to wifi inside arch install

Published on by Rafik Saifi · 1 min read

You’ve propably heard the term “I use arch btw”, wich is a bit annoying but understandable, but while trying to install ‘arch’, you’ll incounter a network issue if you don’t use Ethernet Cable , no internet mean no arch :(, well the solution is pretty easy and stright forward:

Just run these command in the same order and you’ll get it working

You’re already in root so no need for sudo.

run ip link

  1. systemctl enable iwd
  2. rfkill unblock all

Run ip link to see your network interface name

  1. iwctl

Now you’re in a Terminal based network manager


in this case mine is wlan0

  1. iwctl
  2. station list
  3. station wlan0 scan
  4. station wlan0 get-networks
  5. station wlan0 connect 'type your network name {SSID} and hit tab to auto complete'
