Is WiFi still active while in Standby?

[GamerZero]

While I'm downloading a large App if I put my Nexus 7 in Standby mode will the WiFi still be active and keep on downloading the App? If not how do I turn off the Nexus 7's screen while downloading a large App thats going to take a while?

your wifi will still be active but there is a setting which can disable wifi when at sleep.

settings-->wifi-->menu-->advanced-->keep wifi on during sleep-->always

make sure it is always then u r good to go.
