Wifi not staying connected

If the iPhone go to sleep mode then the wifi go off, just like it will happen to your computer. The only think you can do is extend the sleep time but then you compromise battery life.
 
I can get onto any Wifi, but when screen is off Wifi shuts off. That normal or is their a setting to keep it on? Thanks

As iFrog said, wi-fi does quit once you go into Sleep mode. You can extend that time in your settings.

Where would you extend the time for wi-fi to stay on? Thanks

Edit: Do you have it extended? When phone is sleeping does it still scan for signal or no?

There are NO adjustments needed for iOS WiFi. When the phone is "sleeping" it DOES NOT search for WiFi. In fact while the phone is truly asleep, the only thing it is doing is listening for PUSH notifications, checking for alarms, polling email if you decide to use the older method and handle incoming phone events like SMS, MMS and calls.

Very good explanation thank you :)
