Depends, what your power settings set to? Without knowing more......

Suggestions:

Right click the connection icon in the Notification
Area/Status/Properties/Connect Using WiFi/Configure/Power Management and
uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

Right click My Computer Icon/Properties/Hardware/Device Manager. Expand
Network Adapters/Right click the adapter in question/Properties. Select
Power Management and uncheck: Allow the computer to turn off the device to
save power.

Right click My Computer Icon/Properties/Hardware/Device Manager. Expand USB
Controllers/Double Click USB Root Hub/Properties. Select Power Management
and uncheck: Allow the computer to turn off the device to save power.
