Connection to WiFi

Linksys556 · 2018-05-24 06:29:42

Hi,

I am trying to connect to wifi from my USB Arch Linux. So far I tried the netctl(which seems not to be a good option for wpa2) .
How would I connect to my wifi using the standard tools? I have checked the drivers and started the network module, I know my ssid and password, also after scanning I can see the network.

Thank you in advance

And then I am stuck. Should I use netctl to connect to a network or something else?
