Which macOS version? Did you check /var/log/wifi.log?

Strangely my MBP 2010 has a similar issue, while my new MBP 2015 doesn't.

Still on Mavericks. I didn't know anything about /var/log/wifi.log so I'll check that later to see if I can spot a problem - thanks.

Did you try the solutions at [1]? Have you considered upgrading? Be careful you don't get into issues with DNS related to [2] in 10.10
