WIFI reconnects when phone unlocks/wakes!?

[ShaneN.]

My WIFI reconnects when my phone unlocks/wakes after it's been locked for 20 mins (for example). In my wifi options I have keep wifi on during sleep "always" selected. Smart network switch is off for whatever it's worth.

Anyone else having this? What could it be?

Mine does the same thing. Kinda annoying. I would like to know how to fix this as well.

Anyone have a fix or is the phone/software defective? I don't really want to fight with the provider to have another one sent and have to setup a third phone this week.

Well this does happen to my previous phone too.. LG G4.. not just S8 though.
