Does Ubuntu turn off Wireless device when on standby mode

Question

I have a question. I am using an Intel Compute Stick pre installed with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit using a remote access software. And when the Compute Stick is sitting idle the Compute Stick disconnects from the wireless network and I need to hard reboot the stick to work. Does Ubuntu have a power saving option that turns off the Wifi to save power or turns off the Wifi connection when the stick goes on standby? If yes, is there a way to disable it.

TIA

There is suspend if inactive in the system settings. – George Udosen Dec 15 '16 at 03:26 — George Udosen, Dec 15 '16 at 03:26

Suspend/Hibernate/Resume all are handled by the scripts in the pm-utils package (dpkg -L pm-utils). Begin with /usr/share/doc/pm-utils/README.
