Is there any way to literally kill wifi (wifi process/wifi related processes?) and then launch/relaunch it, all with terminal?
maybe sudo killall WiFiAgent
?

As found here:
Wifi can be turned on and off using
networksetup -setairportpower en0 off
and back on using
networksetup -setairportpower en0 on
When I use this, it says something along the lines of en0
is not wifi, turning on/off en1
instead, presumably because en0 is my ethernet connection.
EDIT: Also, this should be a comment, but I cannot yet comment, but sudo killall WiFiAgent
does not appear to do anything on my computer.
