I'm intermittently having Wi-Fi issues on LL 3.8 when I never used to before. I've had 3.8 on my machine for a long time - since 3.8 came out in fact, so this is not a new install.  :-\ The problem just started in the past week or two, which is odd. It happens most often after the session is suspended due to inactivity (not sure if I'm using the correct terminology? - in any case I mean it tends to happen after I log in again after so many minutes of inactivity - but not every time).

I can usually solve it by shutting down and re-starting computer, but it's frustrating to have to keep doing that. Occasionally it will take 2 re-boots for it to get Wi-Fi working again. Other machines continue to work fine on the same Wi-Fi during those times, and the other machines (one of which is LL 4.0) are further away from the Wi-Fi than the 3.8 machine, so it can't be a proximity issue.

I did NOT install any new software on my 3.8 machine for a long, long time (except for the "install updates" that I do through LL). There have been no changes to the Wi-Fi router either. On one of those problem times I powered down the router and powered it back up again, same for the LL3.8 machine, but that didn't prevent the issue from happening again. In any case, I don't think the router is the problem, as the other machines can connect just fine. 

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I could do to either fix or troubleshoot the problem?

Using Linux Lite for everything now. I put it on my desktop and my laptop. Woohoo!
