Wifi fails after being disabled

I used to think it was my WiFi would fail after enabling the hotspot feature. I now realize it fails simply by turning WiFi on and off. This happens 9 out of 10 times. When I re-enable Wifi, it connects to the SSID, and gets an IP address. It will not pass any traffic. No Internet apps work at all. The only fix I have found is to reboot the phone. I have tried various 'Wifi fix" apps, but nothing helped. They seem to renew the IP and disable/re-enable Wifi. This is a very annoying problem. Anyone else experience it? My phone is rooted running stock ROM with the debloat script that removed a bunch of junk. It has happened through all updates and Android versions as far as I can remember. I'm currently running the latest 5.0 courtesy of muniz_ri (thanks!)
