I'm trying to install Arch Linux from scratch following the official installation guide. Although an Ethernet connection is recommended, my computer doesn't have an Ethernet port, so I must use wifi. I successfully connected to wifi using the wifi-menu command, but when I try to ping any site this happens:

ping google.com ping: google.com: Name or service not known

Any help is appreciated.

It turned out to be a problem with systemd-networkd not working right with wifi-menu. I solved it using the previous Arch ISO instead of the newest one (when it was still using dhcpcd instead of systemd-networkd) and it worked fine.
