It makes no difference. Sometimes on reboot I get WiFi the next it doesn't and I still see on login in the following pop up over when it asks for my username on the tty.
iwlwifi0: Not associated and ...
When it's working I see this in my ifconfig output section of wlan0. Note I've removed macs and ip's.

I'm also right next to the AP so both 2.4 and 5G signals are very good.
