Solved: WiFi turns Off?

Hi there,

My laptop, when connected via WiFi turns OFF when it goes to sleep mode and when woken, it takes a while ( a few secs) to connect to WiFI again and get connected to open apps?

Is this normal?

How can one not let the WiFi be disconnected when it sleeps, with apps needing WiFi are open?

Hoping to hear from you as always,

Thanks.
