My mid-2011 27" (10.13.6) recently began to lose connection to wifi. Meaning this: after some indeterminate about of time or usage, the device will disconnect from my wifi network and refuse to reconnect until I reboot the machine. No other device on my network is doing the same. For a period of time the wifi icon will remain lit, but without actual connection and eventually greys-out.

Being an i7, this machine does run hot, but it's always run hot and this is a rather new symptom.

I've searched and been unable to find this problem discussed elsewhere. thanks in advance for help.

(yes, I'm in consideration for a new unit, but waiting to see tear-downs and stuff)
