Macbook Air WiFi turns its self off

I have a MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2014) running High Siera (10.13.4 (17E202)). Yesterday an issue arose where the WiFi will turn off. It happens every time the Mac goes to sleep either by timeout or by closing it.

When it wakes WiFi is disabled with the empty WiFi logo. I can re-enable it and it reconnects but it's super annoying!

I haven't made any system changes or any updates
I have tried disabling bluetooth

I happens every time the computer sleeps but also at other times (seemingly random) while it is in use.

MacBook Air, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)
