A Few Thoughts:

A. Try Booting into Safe Mode:

(Hold Down: the shift key upon boot). In Safe Mode, login items are placed aside, and caches are removed (temporary files from applications and their settings). When you reboot, things may be back to normal.

B. Reset your SMC and Your NVRAM:

Changes occur (i.e. updates), and sometimes your Mac needs to reset itself and get back to its pervious settings(Wi-Fi). You may need to set it thrice, and that can be time consuming.

So, Use these Two Links:

C. Remove, then Add the Connection:

If neither of the above works, then remove the connection from your Mac. Next, add it back.
