Please follow steps below to auto switch your wireless network profiles. This is useful when you frequently switch between your wireless networks i.e home and office.
1. Install wpa_actiond, dialog and wpa_supplicant
$ sudo pacman -S wpa_actiond dialog wpa_supplicant
2. Create profile using wifi-menu
$ sudo wifi-menu
It will display a wifi network selection, choose your network and provide password.
Save the profile.
Repeat same with the home, office or other networks.
This will create network profiles in /etc/netctl directory like
wlo1-home wlo1-office based on your network profile names.
3. Set auto start the wifi profiles
Find your network interface in my case it is wlo1
You can find it using
$ ip link
# systemctl enable netctl-auto@wlo1.service
Restart your PC and you ll see the network profile was auto started.
