[SOLVED]Installation: Can't connect to open SSID

So I'm trying to install Arch with WiFi. But I'm already having problems with the first steps. In the installation guide it says I have to stop the dhcpc@interface.service which I did. Then I have to use ip link to set the state of the WiFi interface to up. If I do so the interface's state is still down.

Then I tried using wifi-menu. It shows me the right SSIDs but I can't connect because it's an open SSID with a sign-in page which expectedly doesn't get displayed in the terminal.
How could I bypass those problems?

Use wi-fi menu to connect to the network and then open the sign-in page with a browser such as links which is part of the installation media.
