High Sierra WiFi

Does anyone know when Apple plans to fix the issues with WiFi connectivity in High Sierra? I continue to have to fiddle with Wifi (usually remove the Wifi Adapter in all Locations and recreate it) to get Wifi to work again after my MacBook Pro has been asleep for a long period. This is most annoying and based on what I've read online and in the Apple forums, a lot of people are experiencing a variety of WiFi issues since upgrading, so I am not alone in my frustration, yet Apple does not seem to be addressing this issue. For the first time in 8 years, I am fundamentally disappointed in Apple's OS release and in their support of a major flaw.

So Apple, when are you going to resolve this?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

When you have a WiFi issue go to the WiFi icon in top menu and option left click and try disconnecting from your network then do again and connect to your network. This may reset the system (at least temporarily) and is easier to do.

Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately, that doesn't work in my case. Neither does removing and recreating a location, turning the Wifi adapter off and then back on, shutting the system down, or rebooting the gateway. I also tried several other suggestions and so far the only thing that works every time is to remove the wifi adapter and then add it back. I've given feedback to Apple and I hope they fix this in the next update.

Thanks Bob, I couldn't find a link for that and thought they might have moderators on the forums.
