how to configure wifi like on a smartphone in archlinux

Hi,

When configuring a smartphone, we just get automatically the type of connection and just type the login and password. I use quite a lot netctl, but this sometimes difficult and not practical to have to find the type of wifi connection, write the manual configuration in order to use a wifi. Is there a faster way to configure wifi with archlinux similar to the way smartphone do this?

Or NetworkManager. If you prefer a GUI. Although having said that the TUI for NM is actually really nice.
