Wifi gets disconnected when screen shuts

Phone Model: Samsung Galaxy S Advance (GT-I9070)
OS: Gingerbread 2.3.6

Wifi gets disabled automatically after screen shuts after remaining idle.

I have tried setting it to Never. By setting it to Never. As below.

Settings -> Wireless and networks -> Wi-Fi settings -> Menu -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi sleep policy -> then select Never.

However the issue persists despite that.

Once system is brought out from idle mode, Wifi does not get reconnected, but connects to 3G instead. I have to manually enable Wifi then.

Request help to identify any way to stop wifi from getting disabled when screen blacks out due to idle timeout.
