MacBook Pro freezes and crashes when moved to a...

MacBook Pro, Late 2013, 2GHz i7, 8GB, 250GB SSD, MacOS 10.11.6

I have searched the forums for this problem, and there are a lot of posts about freezes and crashes, but none seem similar to mine.

This is a very predictable crash, and happens nearly every time I move my MacBook from the living room to the bedroom while I have it on. Mostly, I use the MacBook while sitting on the sofa. I often move around the living room, so the computer moves a lot. But when I leave it on and move to the bedroom, it will invariably crash. However, if I leave it on and move from the bedroom to the living room, everything works perfectly. I never get a crash any other time.

When it crashes, the screen will freeze for about 15 seconds, then I get the standard kernel panic screen. After a few more seconds, it will restart on its own, and everything goes back to the way it was.

I have seen other comments. I have seen other comments about loose cables or RAM chips, and I have tried to duplicate this problem other ways, by turning the computer or even shaking it, but none of those things have any effect.

The only thing I can think of is that the bedroom has a significantly weaker WIFI signal because of the location of the router. It is 5GHz, it's just two more walls to go through. However, this crash does *not* happen if I restart the router and there is no signal. Once the router comes back up, the computer reconnects perfectly.

Is it possible that a WIFI signal that weakens quickly could cause a kernel panic? I have not seen anything online about this, but if so, is there a way to fix it?

On another note, should I upgrade this computer to High Sierra? Would that help this problem?

Thanks for your comments.

anything you can reproduce, the guys at the genius bar at an Apple-owned store can fix. Your appointment for an evaluation there is free, in warranty or out.
