Just a note of thanks for your persistence in tracking this down. 
Turned off blue tooth and no more problem.  I occasionally use a 
bluetooth speaker with this machine but I guess I can turn on bluetooth 
when doing so.  As you say, once the wifi is on it's solid.  Anyway, 
till Apple fixes it, the workaround has ended my frustrations.  Thanks 
again.
