[SOLVED]installation > Connect to the Internet > wifi, no internet con

I am trying to install arch according to the Arch installation guide. I can't seem to get WIFI working.
- Left keyboard layout as is;
- The boot mode is UEFI enabled (changed it to be so);
Now I am trying to connect to the Internet through Wifi. This according to the Wireless network configuration as mentioned in the installation guide. (I know it can work because with the live cd of latest stable Ubuntu 17.10 does work).

I have WPA2 protection. So I configured wpa_supplicant. Used wpapassphrase and vim to make the wpa_suppicant.conf file.

ctrl_interface=DIR=/etc/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1
network={
          ssid="MYESSID"
          #psk="thepassword"
          psk=generatedkey
          proto=RSN
          key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
          pairwise=CCMP TKIP
          group=CCMP TKIP
          priority=5
}

Then I started wpa_supplicant:

wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0f0-c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Next ping to test the connection

ping 192.168.0.1

I am trying to ping the gateway but It gives an error. I will post the error message later. I don't have that info at hand right now.
Question: What could I do to fix this?

Does running the wifi-menu command work?

How are we supposed to know how to fix this without the logs?

Anyway, did you add an address manually or requested one through dhcp after connecting to your SSID?

dhcpcd wlp2s0f0

Tried it and the output was:

connecting failed

And a question to keep the profile. I did.

you are richt you can not. I could not get the logs from the system when I started the post.

The output of your proposal command is:

Do  you have a smartphone you can plug in to this machine?

It should provide you with an internet connection enabling you to upload logs to help us diagnose, or simply to install with (and fix the original issue later).

Re: [SOLVED]installation > Connect to the Internet > wifi, no internet con

I don't know if I can hook my android phone to the laptop. Don't know how.

Just plug it in with USB cable and a new (wired) network device will appear.
Run dhcpcd on that device and you're done

Re: [SOLVED]installation > Connect to the Internet > wifi, no internet con

Do you have a smartphone you can plug into this machine?....

The only idea I have is mount it like an usb stick?

I don't have the knowledge to get useful information out of all the "logs" yet. A hint what I should look for could help me solve it, perhaps.

Re: [SOLVED]installation > Connect to the Internet > wifi, no internet con

You are associated with your router, but dhcpcd is timing out.  Thus, you have no IP address.

Is your access point / router running a DHCP server?

Re: [SOLVED]installation > Connect to the Internet > wifi, no internet con

Assuming there is ("with the live cd of latest stable Ubuntu 17.10 does work")

Is dhclient on the installation iso?
Otherwise, try to edit /etc/dhcpcd.conf and use "clientid" instead of "duid"; also try "dhcpcd -4"

thank you For the statement abortus no IP address. So I get me one. In the wireless network configuration under get an IP address and follow-up the example with wpa_supplicant and DHCP.
