WiFi can't connect unless I reboot - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, everytime my z5 disconnects from WiFi, like if I go out, it won't re-connect again until I reboot the phone. In the meantime I just get an exclamation mark! On the WiFi symbol, turning WiFi on and off or forgetting and re-adding the network doesn't work. If I reboot it'll connect straight away, it's insanely annoying as I rely on WiFi for connectivity.
Any ideas.

Wifi not being detected

Hi all,
I'm having an issue connecting to wifi at work. We have several (15+) wifi networks that I can detect via wifianalyzer on my phone. But when I go into the stock wifi settings to connect to them it doesn't list ANY of them and is constantly scanning. Is there anything that I can do to fix this? Has anyone else experienced this?

Turn off wifianalyzer, turn off wifi, turn back on, scan for networks again. didnt work ?
turn off wifi, restart phone, turn on wifi.
Should do the trick.

Wifi/data problem

My problem is when I leave my house and turn on Data my phone searches for nearby wifi, this is fine if I am able to connect.
On some wifi they are so slow the phone will not connect but then I cant browse or do anything that requires a connection as somehow the phone refuses to use data unless I disable the wifi connection.
This is most annoying as I then forget to turn wifi back on when I get home costing me a fortune

Can't Connect to a Certain Wi-Fi Access Point, but can others

Just bought this Moto G Fast phone today, brand new, and I'm having issues connecting to Wi-Fi. Whenever I attempt to connect to a Xfinity Wi-Fi access point, it attempts to connect and tells me sign-in is required. I get to the screen where I enter in the username and password, but it then disconnects me from the access point, and takes me off the sign-in page before I can enter in the information. This happens in an endless loop. Never staying connected for more than a few seconds before it disconnects and reconnects.
I tried doing a factory reset multiple times.
I tried forgetting all wi-fi networks.
I have tried resetting the wi-fi, Bluetooth, and wireless network settings.
I tried doing a hardware Wi-Fi test, and get the green check mark.
I tried turning off my phone, waiting for thirty seconds, and turning back on my phone with the issue still existing.
I have tried resetting my phone multiple times.
I have removed my SIM card and reinserted it.
I can use my computer to connect to this Xfinity Wi-Fi access point, and then use my computer as Wi-Fi hotspot. My phone is then able to connect to my computer to access Wi-Fi to this Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspot indirectly. It however cannot connect directly to it by itself.
I'm able to connect to other Wi-Fi access points without issues, it's just Xfinity Wi-Fi access point near my home that I can no longer connect to. My computer however is able to connect to this same exact Xfinity Wi-Fi access point without issue. The connection from my computer to the Xfinity Wi-Fi access point is stable, I'm able to watch YouTube videos etc on it. However for whatever reason, sitting at the SAME exact desk my computer is at with my phone, my phone isn't able to maintain a constant connection for more than a few seconds.
I don't have physical access to the router.
Thanks for any help! I have the feeling I should just return the phone, but I don't want to pay the $49 restock fee, and this seems to be a software issue, and not a hardware issue, so I'm not sure anything is wrong with the device from a hardware perspective.
