[SOLVED] DHCP is not working automatically during iso

after booting into iso rough commands:
iwctl
station wlan0 scan
station wlan0 get-networks
station wlan0 connect SSID
enter passphrase
and then nothing, ping arch linux nothing, when "station wlan0 show" it has gotten as far as "state: connecting" but "no IP address" and "Is DHCP client configured?"

[SOLVED]

It turned out it was my router, turning off a wi-fi booster upstairs fixed the problem.

The ISO already runs DHCP, so it's not likely that. Either your wireless device needs a driver that's not on the ISO, or your access point doesn't connect. Is there anything logged in your journal?

Does "ip a" suggest you've a carier? Can you "ping _gateway"? (Maybe dns isn't properly configured)
