In the meantime 4.9.65 is available, perhaps this version solves your issue

I run 4.9.62+.

Will follow the instructions you gave to ThePumisher. And see if that fixes the problem.

Tried the instruction you gave in an earlier post.

Reverted back to 4.9.60. Tried shuttingdown the system, rebooting a couple of times. And Wifi works again!!!

And also, i have learned a little Linux on the way. Thanks for ALL your help. Would have been totally lost without you!

But what does this mean? Is there a bug in the actual kernel? Do i always have to run on 4.9.60?

You mentioned 4.6.5 but i didn´t see it in the list of kernels.

I have everything turned off right now under Xbian/Update except for:
package inventory (can´t remember the actual text)
and make a APT-GET snapshot

Am i safe so it doesn´t update the system now?

new kernel has version 4.9.65 !

If you do not have enabled the auto-update feature, updates are installed on user action only. That's usually the standard setting

I would appreciate if you could install 4.9.65 kernel, to see if this strange wlan issue has gone, because unfortunately I can not reproduce this issue with my Pi 3

Thanks

Sure. I will try 4.9.65 but how do i get it?
It is not listed under XBMC/Updates (only 4.9.62+) neither will 65 show up if i use:
sudo apt-cache policy linux-image-bcm2836

4.9.62+ is the highest. When i had the 4.9.62+ version it didn´t list 65 either. Because i first thought i should try to upgrade then to downgrade. But i couldn´t because it was not listed.
