Q: Why does my MacBook Pro keep dropping wifi connection?

In the past few weeks, my wifi connection has often been dropping and I have to restart my MacBook Pro to have the wifi connection again.

I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch (late 2011) and am running OS X El Capitan version 10.11.4

I brought my computer to a Genius Bar and had someone look at it. The guy helped me clean out my caches and adware which helped. He also helped me with trash existing Wifi preferences to start fresh.

 

My computer worked well after my visit to Genius Bar and now almost a day later my wifi connection dropped again and I had to restart my computer.

 

Any suggestions on what I should do?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

    I was bugging out about this.. it would work on 5ghz band, not 2.4 - dropped every 15 minutes on the dime on 2.4ghz. I did this suggestion and it worked, so thank you so much and hopefully this helps someone else. Context for me was that I got a new MacBook Pro and restored all my WiFi passwords via iCloud keychain.
