Related questions have been asked quite often, but the solutions mentioned in those questions don't seem to solve my problem.

This quesion seems to be on the right track and I use it as a general guide. This question is also related.

So, when my WiFi is on and connected and I run nmcli nm I get:

RUNNING         STATE           WIFI-HARDWARE   WIFI       WWAN-HARDWARE   WWAN      
running         connected       enabled         enabled    enabled         enabled

If I then close the lid (sleep) and open it again (wake up) and run the command again, I get:

RUNNING         STATE           WIFI-HARDWARE   WIFI       WWAN-HARDWARE   WWAN      
running         disconnected    disabled        disabled   enabled         enabled

So the WIFI-HARDWARE and WIFI statusses changed from enabled to disabled.

Running man nmcli gives options I can use with nmcli nm and shows that I can switch WIFI on using nmcli nm wifi on, however if I run this it doesn't change the status of WIFI-HARDWARE or WIFI.

I think I can use a bash script and nmcli to fix this, but am not quite sure how. The original question says the following script:

#!/bin/sh

case "${1}" in
        resume|thaw)
        nmcli nm sleep false
                ;;
esac

should be placed in /etc/pm/sleep.d, this does however not fix my problem.

I was having the same problem on 16.10 where my Wifi would not reconnect after resuming. I tried restarting NetworkManager in a on-resume script, but it didn't work.

The solution that worked for me disabling and/or uninstalling ModemManager. Once that was gone, it started connecting again.
