Android 7.0 Nougat might well be considered the latest and greatest Android iteration at the moment though that certainly does not apply to all aspects of the operating system. In fact, many Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X owners who have recently upgraded to Nougat have complained of Wi-Fi issues, with the signal getting disconnected often times or not being able to recognize the signal in some cases.
Fortunately, it is not all gloom and doom as there are a few ways that can help establish normalcy.
For instance, one way the Wi-Fi issues can be resolved is by keeping it on at all times. That, in fact, happens to be a feature addition in Nougat and be reached by tapping on Setting and then Wi-Fi.

One thing to note here is that the entire information stored in your handset pertaining to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and the cellular connection is permanently deleted.
