wifi failed to start on Intel 5100

New Linux user here, I hope to increase my skills rapidly.
I searched quite a while for a solution for this to no avail.

Wifi worked fine for me on installation but as soon as I rebooted, I received failure messages when trying to connect to my router.
When trying to access my router through wifi-menu, I recieve:

Job for netctl@wls1\x2d2WIRE740.service failed. See 'systemctl status netctl@wls1\x2d2WIRE740.service and journalctl -xn' for details.

systemctl status netctl@wls1\x2d2WIRE740.service says:

Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemmd/system/netctl@.service; static)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:netctl.profile(5)

journalctl -xn says:

-- Unit netctl@wls1\x2d2WIRE740.service has begun starting up.
Jan 01 06:40:43 termin01 network[2002]: Starting network profile 'wls1-2WIRE740' ...

Jan 01 06:40:43 termin01 systemd[1]: Failed to start Automatically generated profile by wifi-menu.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
