I have a MBP14" connected to a usb-c hub with integrated gigabit ethernet. My network drives seem to disconnect every time the laptop goes into sleep mode. Is there a way a way to maintain network connectivity even when in sleep mode so my network mounts don't disappear? Please note I'm coming from windows where i'm used to drives just being mapped to a letter in explorer. So whether you have network connection or not, everything remains in place.

thanks for your help.

It shouldn't disconnect. However, which is you mounting mechanism? Wireless or wired?
its a wired connection. I'm thinking it may have something to do with the type of drive i'm mounting?

please refer to attachment. the video drive seems to be fairly stable, but the photo drive is disconnects. these are 2 separate NAS drives.

I wonder if its a faulty NAS then? or perhaps they're connecting via different protocols.
