Windows 10 laptop won't connect to wifi unless I reboot

I recently purchased a Lenovo yoga pro with Windows 10 and ever since I got it I've had the same problem. When I open my laptop (I never shut it down just close the lid to sleep mode) it never connects to my wifi, it either has the no internet sign and my network IS detected or it detects ZERO networks. Once I restart it everything is working just fine, it shows all networks in the area and let's me connect to my own. I don't think it is a router issue since my other computer is connected 24/7 with no problems. Is this an operating system issue? What do I do? Having to restart my computer EVERY time I want to use it is really inconvenient.
