Oh thank you for your new response, [member=5916]trinidad[/member] - it's been great to get more info about that. FYI I am not using Firefox. It IS technically set as my default browser, but the browser I always use day-to-day is Vivaldi.
No, I didn't have the issue on this same machine when I used Vivaldi back on LL 3.8. I'm also not getting problems with Vivaldi now on my other machine that is still on 3.8. I keep up to date with updating both machines. So I'm doubtful that Vivaldi is the issue (although it still could be I guess, if it was somehow not-so-compatible with LL 4.0). Still, I'm suspecting some other issue.
The Wi-Fi issue resolves itself on reloading the web page (without me needing to re-connect to the Wi-Fi or anything like that), and it has occurred more than once during a work session. I've also had it happen after reboot - being a laptop, I usually do a shut-down when I'm not using it, or at the end of the day at the very least, so it's had plenty of chances at reboots.
The good news at the moment: so far today I haven't had it happen yet, which is a first for me since installing LL 4.0. Then again, I haven't used the laptop much today as I had sensitive stuff like banking etc to do where I used my other machine to be certain the connection won't drop. I'm back on the laptop now though, and it's doing OK so far. Will continue to keep an eye on it.

Using Linux Lite for everything now. I put it on my desktop and my laptop. Woohoo!
