Temporary Client mode issues

So heres where im stuck,
I am trying to connect to unsecured wifi (my home). the only reason why its unsecured is because the Elder of the house has a caption call, and password screws with it.

heres my network config
__________
network={
ssid="dlink"
psk=
}
__________

I have no clue what im doing wrong as there is nothing online about this, anywhere from my understanding,

phew, ok. This is something we never had thought of.

I think, that you approach may need a way more hacking to get it working.

1) Bootup the PirateBox-AP as usual.
2) Connect via SSH
3) Create the following file '/etc/netctl/wlan0_client' ( sudo vi /etc/netctl/wlan0_client ) and add the following content to it

Description='A simple wireless connection'

Interface=wlan0
Connection=wireless

Security=none
IP=dhcp

ESSID='your SSID'

4) Create another script "/opt/piratebox/rpi/bin/do_switch_client_mode_netctl.sh" to help you switching in client mode

#!/bin/sh
  
# Wrapper script for the steps to enable wifi client

systemctl stop piratebox

if netctl restart wlan0_client ; then
    echo "Started Wifi client sucessfully!"
    exit 0
else
    echo "Error while starting wifi client, restarting piratebox"
    systemctl start piratebox
    exit 1
fi
exit 1

5) Run the command

sudo chmod u+x  /opt/piratebox/rpi/bin/do_switch_client_mode_netctl.sh

6) After this run the command "sync" (to make sure the changes are written to the SDCard.

7) Then you can try to enable the new wlan0 profile with

sudo /opt/piratebox/rpi/bin/do_switch_client_mode_netctl.sh

I hope that helps,
best regards Matthias

That works like a charm...

Sadly, my mother decided to add security to our home wifi while i was at schoool, so now it uses WPA2,

How do i get it to work?

Sorry, I don't get this. What do you mean with "it still thinks it is 192.168.77.1". Did you fix/change /etc/resolv.conf to your home's DNS server or Googles (8.8.8.8) ?
