Mac kicks me off home wifi then wont connect again for hours?

Hey Guys,

I have a big issue with my macbook pro where I will get kicked off my home WIFI (happens at least once a day) then won't let me connect again? When i try to connect i get 'Invalid Password'. But i know its the right password as all the other devices in the house work.

Ill have to keep pressing connect for 30mins / hour before it will finally connect again. I have tried to research on how to fix this but have not been successful.

Please get back to me with any ideas!

Thanks!

MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Have you tried turning wireless off, then back on after a minute or so? The only suggestion I have for a more permanent fix is completely delete the network from your macbook - make sure you don't have multiple networks with the same name - then add it back again, and make it your most preferred network. (I'm assuming you have it set to remember networks) - And make sure you don't have any wrong networks saved.

What wireless router do you have, is it dual band with one SSID?
