I must disconnect then reconnect WiFi

[Doctor Funkenstein]

Hello all,

On my main computer, I have to turn WiFi off, then on again anytime I shut the lid on the laptop or switch networks (e.g. going from home to the workplace). What gives?

I am running Mint 18.3 64 bit with Cinnamon desktop environment. Here is the output from inxi:

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. It's a tiny problem, but if there's an easy fix, I am eager to know!
