Alright, I know some have had an issue with their Wi-Fi sleeping when the screen turns off. There is an easy fix to this issue...
From the home screen press menu the go to settings, from there go to wireless settings and press menu, go to advanced, you will see Wi-Fi sleep policy, change to Never.
Now you will stay connected to Wi-Fi when your screen turns off.

Great find m8. *thumbs up*
Vote for a Sticky.
I so wish that was the fix I was looking for. My Wifi goes in and out with the screen off, and sometimes even on, DESPITE being Never Sleep. Only since update to 2.2. 1.6 worked fine all the time.

everytime i turn my screen on (i think) by pressing the power button, i guess wifi turns on. i notice that i lose connection for things like google talk. is there any way i can have wifi on even while the screen is off? i am using y5 to turn my wifi off when i am away from range but that doesnt seem to keep wifi on anymore while screen is off.

There's an option to keep wifi on when asleep in the advanced settings for wifi. That's all u need to adjust. Go into wifi settings and hit menu to find the advanced settings.

ahhh! how could i have missed that! thank you so much!!! since i did it for 2.1 1 time i never though and forgot about advanced settings.
Google know this option bug but long too patch it.
I upgraded my 2.1 to 2.2 on Captivate. Since then, wifi is in an always on state. Earlier on 2.1 wifi used to turn off when phone used to go sleep mode for some time. Now on 2.2, even if i wake the up the phone after like an hour of being in sleep, I notice that the wifi is still on.
And this always-on mode of wifi is killing the battery!
Anyone who could clear this up, without using any apps like juice defender?

Go into wifi settings - when there hit the menu button and you have the option for advanced settings - there you have the option to set wifi sleep policy.

damn! i feel like a stupid for forgetting something so very basic! thanks a bunch buddy
For those having the constant cycling of the wifi after coming out of sleep or reboot, try this workaround.
Boot or wakeup Nook.
Enable wifi (any method)
Go to Google maps
(don't worry if the map isn't showing yet)
sweep to an area of the map you haven't been before
zoom in several times.....
wait up to 10 seconds....
Hey look the wifi connected and is stable.....
turn off maps...
I have been using this workaround for three weeks now and it works every time and I don't know why this works, but it seems that having an app drawing data seems to break the wifi out of its cycle loop.
PS. I am using this rom...

and this statusbar hack...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999214
Happened to me once. I just turned off wifi, then turned it back on.
I also set wifi not to turn off with the screen. I turn it off manually.
And something I noticed in the last few days is that the wireless is really prone to this problem if you use the advanced settings to toggle wireless off when the screen blanks. I currently have tasker set up to turn off wireless when the screen is off and that doesn't give me any problems. I've been doing this for weeks on the recent cm7 nightlies without a problem

You should've just put that in the title, that you have Nookie Foryo 0.6.8 running Brian's status bar hack.
But thanks for the suggestion. Will give it a go.
There is an app in the market called waketimer that does this also.

I have the wifi cycling issues coming out of sleep with my Froyo Nookie 0.6.8 too.
The work around I found was just to hold the power button until the shutdown menu appears. Do nothing and in about 15-30 seconds I see the wifi connect on the status bar, then I cancel the shutdown menu.
After autonooter3, I'm having the same issue for the first time ever on this device, on rare occasion the wifi won't startup. I downloaded/installed a free app called "Auto WiFi Toggle" and I haven't see the issue surface since.
Could any of you folks let me know if this little app may have solved the problem, or is it just sporatic luck.
noticed wifi turns off after a certain period when the xt860 is inactive or ot used for a while.
Noticed that you actually have to go into wifi setting and it begins to scan and connects. I have the phone set to performance mode but don't get why it turns wifi off.

How about settings->wireless & networks->Wi-Fi settings. Menu->advanced->Wi-Fi sleep policy. If it is not already, set it to never.
ahh thanks i knew there was a setting in wifi setting, just forgot you had to hit the menu key
I keep losing the WIFI connection after I stop using the phone. If I close the screen of the phone and I came back after a couple of minutes, I see I am not connected anymore to the network.
Sometimes, the phones reconnects after a couple of seconds and sometimes not even after 10 minutes; it's only saying "connecting".
This an odd behaviour, because the previous phones that I've had didn't display this behaviour, of disconecting when I closed the screen.
It's even odder because I flashed a couple of ROMs and the problem doesn't go away.
Any solutions?
P.S. I hope you undertand what've said.
The WiFi automatically turns off when the screen turns off.
Just go the WiFi settings, press the menu button and go in "advanced".
Then change "Wifi Sleep Policy".
But I don't know why it stays on "Connecting". This only happens to me when the signal is bad or the network makes you use a proxy like with WiFi hotspots.

Hahahaha
I didn't have this problem at the previous phones becaue that option was always to not turn off the wifi when phone goes to sleep.
Thank you Chris.
