WiFi turns off immediately after screen turns off....

[AC Question]

This is my 2nd G6 phone and the first one didn't have this issue. Running stock android 7.0.

Immediately after I turn the screen off my WiFi turns off.

I've tried the following without any remedy:

Advanced WiFi setting "keep WiFi on during sleep" set to always.

Ignore optimizations - WiFi set to ON
Perhaps something else here should be ON...?

Reset network options

Really odd that my first G6 didn't do this and everything about the way I have used the two phones has been the same. I don't run any aftermarket battery optimization apps or anything like that either.

Help?
