Wifi Doesn't Work After Suspend (Ubuntu 14.04)

Question

Before I start this, I have tried all the solutions on various other posts and none have worked for me. I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a Dell Vostro 270S. Everything is smooth except after coming back after a suspend, the wifi does not work. Networks are detected but it is not able to connect to any. What can I do guys?

my wifi driver info if needed driver=ath9k driverversion=4.4.0-53-generic

Some people have had luck going around this issue by manually killing wpa_supplicant. Have you tried that? — darksky, Dec 20 '16 at 00:16
Killing wpa_supplicant via sudo kill -9 wpa_supplicant seems to solve this problem for some people. It may be because there are two networks with the same ESSID. — darksky, Dec 20 '16 at 00:54
I also suggest for you to upgrade to 16.04 LTS where most of these problems are resolved. — darksky, Dec 20 '16 at 01:05

so I ended up doing what darksky suggested and updated to 16.10, which solved the issue. I went with 14.04 because I thought 16.10 would lag on my hardware but that does not seem to be an issue. Thank you everyone for the help!
