I'm currently running High Sierra 10.13.2. For many months now I have had frustrating wifi connectivity issues. The issue is that I wake my notebook from sleep and sometimes it's connected to one of my wifi networks, sometimes it isn't, and sometimes it searches for a while before it makes the connection. It doesn't give me the consistent instantaneous connection like it used to. Often times I have to turn my wifi off and turn it back on for my wifi to connect. I've tried everything in this link...

And I've also tried re-installing High Sierra. Any other thoughts of things I might try?

If you're using a Linksys router that might explain it as there are multiple reports of these dropping connections with various Apple Mac's.. Other than this sorry I can't help.
 
Had the same issue. Would say it’s connected but no traffic. Fix for me was moving from 5ghz to 2.4
 
I had a similar issue with 2015 13, but mine was related to me using Little Snitch to block some process that acquired ip address...
