WiFi doesn't connect automatically on open

Since upgrading to Mavericks my WiFi connection does not automatically connect when waking from sleep. Sometimes if I click on my account it connects, other times I have to turn WiFi off then back on and it connects. Once connected it is fine.


I have removed the network account several times then restarted the computer and reinstalled my network. Has not corrected the problem. I've checked the security settings and they match. Any suggestions?

To summarize what I have found so far:


Issue is that wifi drops after wake from sleep, and also that it drops randomly while surfing/idle


Issue is happening on OS Mavericks MBA and MBP (may also exist on Lion and Mountain Lion)

Issue is happening on on wifi (may also exist on ethernet connections)

Issue may be also related to wifi router, but some users have successful connections to other apple products including ipad, ipod, etc and windows laptops


Issue has been reportedly resolved using Reforgers method https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5537854?start=0&tstart=0


Issue has been reportedly resolved by turning off Bluetooth completely (or by just turning off Bluetooth PAN)


Issue has been reportedly resolved by turning off iCloud services


Please give apple feedback!

100K people have read this and other threads, if all of them leave a quick feedback maybe apple will fix/respond. Even if a temporary fix works it is not a full solution and apple should push an update
