Same problem with mid 2011 imac, after wakeup from sleep mode wifi not connect automatically, like it should do.
This has been a real bugbear for me too. I'm seriously regretting installing Sierra as a result. Every time I want to use my iMac after waking from sleep mode, it takes almost a minute to reconnect to wifi.
Any word on possible solutions to this?

I tried the troubleshooting steps from here http://osxdaily.com/2016/09/22/fix-wi-fi-problems-macos-sierra/.
That did not work, iMac still loses wifi in sleep mode. Real pain when I use Plex.

I tried the same steps, and ended up with an absolute disaster, requiring a complete reinstall from my TimeMachine backup. Don't do this.
My situation is a little unusual (but hardly unique) in that I'm accessing an ATT U-Verse router and live in an area where my Mac is seeing at least a dozen or so different potential WiFi networks.
It's a relatively minor inconvenience, but still frustrating.
Good to know, I was about to perform the other reset steps. But won't now, guess we will need to wait on a release from apple.
i'm following the thread so if you find a way to fix please post and like wise for me.
I don't have the wake from sleep connection issue but I do have an issue where the wifi connection drops every few hours. I'm currently running the wifi diagnostics app in the background to capture data. Here's another thread on the issue:

Also some people are reporting these issues on Apple message boards.

I have the same WiFi does not reconnect after sleep issue with a mid 2011 imac 21.5". Also tried solutions to no avail.
I attempted to just do the robot in safe mode. Seemed to work for a few hours and then when back to its same issue. Heres hoping they fix this on a 10.12.1
I've found that since 10.12.1 was installed the issue of losing wifi connectivity during sleep mode seems to have greatly diminished. If you are still having problems losing a connection, and haven't installed 10.12.1 - do it now, and chances are you'll find this fixes the problem.
I'm getting similar issues, though it only happens to me when I'm VPN'ed. If the laptop goes to sleep, and I reconnect via VPN, it will lose its ability to connect.
[doublepost=1481246037][/doublepost]I upgraded to sierra 10.12.1 which took care of the problem except that connection to the net takes up to 10 seconds.
Thanks.
