[SOLVED + a pic of my setup]RPi B+ Arch Arm no ssh over wifi

[jbodhorn]

I'm trying to setup a wireless security camera using motion/motioneye on a RPi B+ running Arch Arm. I've been setting everything up over ethernet via ssh till today when I tried to switch to wireless. The wifi dongle works with the RPi it came in a starter kit, it's a Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter. I've used this dongle on my odroid-xu4 running Arch Arm, so this dongle has been used with Arch Arm before. The wireless adapter connects, I've connected using systemd-networkd/resloved and also I tried disabling them and using netctl/wifi-menu. With both systemd-networkd/resolved and netctl I get an ip, I can ping google, and I can run updates, but I cannot get ssh access.

I have the pi hooked up to a tv and keyboard incase I break something while working on the setup and so I can mess around with configs while offline or unable to ssh. I double checked my sshd_config to make sure I wasn't bound to one interface or something silly like that, but I don't see anything in my config that would stop me from connecting through ssh on wifi.

We have two networks at home, I've tried connecting to both via wifi, same issue... I have iptables installed but it is disabled as I haven't gotten around to setting it up yet, so I don't know of anything I've installed that would make me unable to ssh over wifi, especially since I can ssh over ethernet. I've also checked the firewall on my router and there is nothing there blocking me from connecting to ssh over wifi

I got my RPi wireless security cam working!!! I think I'll probably have to get a better powersource, something that will last the night or run power to the RPi, but it's completely wireless atm, it's running and recording in the pic, note the blue light on the camera.

Anyway, I finally got ssh access, I reinstalled netctl and wpa_supplicant. I disabled systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved and made two netctl profiles, one for wifi and one for ethernet and enabled them and rebooted and I was online, I disabled the ethernet and unplugged the wire and rebooted and all was good with my wifi.

One last step for this project that I didn't think of till I was almost done, I gotta encrypt my root partition incase someone snags my camera. I have my RPi security cam set to send all it's recordings to an odroid-xu4 that I'm using as a samba server among other things
