    Goto settings>wireless & networks click menu goto advanced and set the wifi sleep policy too never go off when asleep it's meant to save battery but is super annoying

    Like the post above said you can it by going to settings > tap on your wifi (like if you were looking to select your network) > menu then advanced. Option is there.

    Thanks! It helped fix mine as well.

    Will this indeed affect battery life? Have you noticed any difference or is the difference negligible?

    You should be fine. It should actually help to since you be connecting and disconnecting from WiFi constantly every time you go to use your phone.
