How long does it take for wifi to sleep?

[stephanie85]

Was wondering how long it takes for wifi to sleep when its set to off when screen is off for sleep policy ....I checked a few times today and woke my phone up at random both times wifi was on and I'm sure its not reconnecting faster than I can see it ... I thought with my Xoom it was like after 10 mnutes or something but I checked twice an hour apart and its still on any help or suggestions

Also forgot to mention did a battery pull and power cycle router than checked the second hour still wasn't sleeping.

No clue. I leave mine on "Never". I read somewhere that it's actually better for battery life, but I don't know why, and never had the patience to look into it further.

Mines is on never also, and I just leave out on it doesn't even bother the battery, I've never seen it over 2%...

Yes, it's better for battery life to have it set to Never because when it goes to sleep it will look for a data signal, which uses more battery.

What is the Never setting and where is it again? Thanks...

Go to wifi settings, press menu, advanced. It's under wifi sleep policy.
