Probably sed could be used to plug that router password into wpa_supplicant.conf very quickly. I think I can probably figure what may be a one-liner script to do that.

I've installed ArchLinux on 3 desktops so far, and I've done them
successfully, so I must have *RTFM* , I was just wondering why is it
hard to configure wifi. Since I failed to configure wifi with
wpa_supplicant. I'll try with wifi-menu today, and report progress.

That's odd, I never had any trouble with it (and damn me, I installed it
3 times in a row when I started) and with different configurations "man
wpa_supplicant.conf" always helped me when I needed it (I don't use the
CLI).

The upside is that one only needs to configure any network once, then I
can copy the details to all systems as needed. Works across various
distros. Also, when people ask you the passphrase just do "grep -A2
network_name wpa_supplicant.conf".

And now dhcpcd even starts wpa_supplicant on its own! It's amazing!

Just my 2 cents worth of experience,
